The Space digital reporter creative bursaries for REFRAIN, an immersive, site-specific performance in Newhaven Fort, East Sussex are now open.

Applications are now open for bursaries of £150 each to support two creative digital-savvy young people (16-24) to attend, respond and document REFRAIN performances from 9-11 June.    

We’re looking for two fast-paced reporters to digitally tell the story of the REFRAIN performances as they’re developing. The digital reporters will document the audience experience and participant experience for remote audiences to follow the story of REFRAIN.

Newhaven Fort will be transformed by an immersive choral experience, devised by composer Verity Standen and an ensemble of local male singers. This spring, during the centenary of the First World War, composer Verity Standen has created a new performance at three sites of historic significance in the stories of conscientious objection. The project is presented by Situations in collaboration Attenborough Centre for the Creative Arts and will be ACCA’s first major off-site project.

To apply, please write a one-page cover letter detailing your suitability for the bursary and a short CV with relevant experience. Any examples of ideas are also welcomed. 

Please also include your full name, age and contact details (telephone and email address) in the email. If appropriate, include links to your social media handles (Twitter/Instagram/Vimeo/YouTube) or links to examples of work.

Deadline: 25 May 2017

Email -  communications@situations.org.uk to send your application or for more information. 

The digital reporters must have availability for the weekend of Friday 9 - Sunday 11 June to attend some of the REFRAIN performances at Newhaven Fort. They will be responsible for their travel to Newhaven Fort, East Sussex.
