Camden Youth Theatre (CYT) is a free to attend theatre programme for 13-19 year olds who live or go to school in Camden. In a unique partnership between Camden People’s Theatre (CPT) and New Diorama Theatre (NDT), CYT was established in response to local demand for a creative club for young people. This exciting new role marks a renewed commitment to CYT. We’re looking for a committed, inventive and organised person to join us in developing and delivering this next phase. This flexible role would suit an artist with a passion for young people, live performance, and local community.
This role will work closely with the CYT Producer, a new role based at NDT, to deliver the programme and facilitate partnership working across CYT.
