Box Clever was recently
awarded a prestigious touring grant from Arts Council England. The company
continues to make, produce and tour its own work in collaboration with
emerging and established artists. Regular creatives include Iqbal Khan, Rhys
Jarman, Stephen Burke, Virgil Howe and David Ajao.
Box Clever welcomes applications from trained ACTORS and ACTORS/MUSICIANS
interested in being seen for the project described below. (Please note that
the rehearsal and tour dates below are provisional.)
The BOX CLEVER style demands actors are physically fit, vocally strong,
committed and conscientious. Accredited training, ability to drive and
experience of touring and workshops is desirable. An interest in new writing
and working with young people is essential.
