Blackpool theatre The Old Electric has announced plans for its first artist development programme, with a focus on supporting emerging and early career theatre makers.

Industry-leading artists and companies such as Frantic Assembly, Harry Clayton-Wright, Ruth E Cockburn, Les Enfants Terribles and imitating the dog will be delivering training throughout the programme. 

Named ‘Collaborate’, the free programme of professional development has been deigned by The Electric Sunshine Project to support its goal of becoming Blackpool’s first professional producing theatre. 

The selected artists will gain mentoring opportunities and a community of like-minded practitioners who will be encouraged to share showcases and pieces that are a work-in-progress.
