Are you an Early Career Artist interested in non-verbal, physical story telling? Fancy the chance to be part of Vamos Theatre’s Elevate 2025 FREE four-day training residency in mask and physical theatre?

Vamos Theatre’s Elevate programme is designed to train and inspire Early Career Artists from diverse communities across the UK.

The first stage, open to all, is a free full mask taster session where participants can immerse themselves in Vamos Theatre’s approach to mask theatre, creating physical character and devising non-verbal theatre that connects and moves audiences. From these nationwide taster workshops, we’ll select a group of artists to attend a free residency in September 2025, where participants will receive intensive training and space to create public performances.

Elevate aims to nurture performers and theatre makers from an early career stage, offering workshops, a residency, online support sessions, performance opportunities and ongoing connections within the Elevate community over a full year.

Who is it for?

This training is open to all 18+ Early Career Artists who have at least one professional theatre-based experience on their CV.; the company is particular interested in working with artists from the global majority and those from low socio-economic backgrounds.
