The Proto-type Mentorship Scheme is designed to support graduate theatre companies, and early career artists seeking a professional career in the arts.
The collective was founded by Leicester De Montfort University Performing Arts students, Ross Thomson and Kirstie Johnston and we’re really glad that we can be involved in helping to develop their practice.
This year we are delighted to be supporting Ten29 Theatre Collective, an East Midlands performance company who are working to connect and share stories, experiences and voices from around the world.
There is more about Ten29 on their website and you can find them on Twitter here.
