Associate Artist Mentors

This year we have been funded by the National Lottery and Arts Council England to co-create a 12 month programme alongside five Associate Artists. The programme provides the Associate Artists with the chance to develop their artistic practice, create their own work and receive career support.

We are looking for mentors who are experienced in their field, to support Mafwa’s Associate Artists to reach their artistic and career development goals. We are looking for individuals with expertise in:

  • Acting for stage and screen

  • Writing for stage and screen

  • Directing for stage and screen

  • Creative writing (particularly in multiple languages)

Each mentor will support one Associate Artist via 3 one to one meetings throughout the year. Mentors will be paid for their time at £50 per 1 hour meeting.

We are specifically looking for mentors who reflect the life experiences of the Associate Artists. 

If you are interested, please send one of the following to mafwatheatre@gmail.com:

  • a link to a portfolio of your work or a website 

  • an up to date CV

  • a voice note describing your artistic practice 

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
