Director Call Out - SUNNY GIRL

HER Productions are seeking a female director to work with us on SUNNY GIRL by Beth Westbrook.

Sunny Girl will be premiered at Greater Manchester Fringe (July) so availability across late June & July is required. Exact performance dates remain TBC.

Sunny Girl tells the story of Erin, a young woman coming to terms with and exploring her autism diagnosis. It is the anti Rain Man; a comedic and dynamic one-woman show, packed with heart and humour. Sunny Girl will integrate creative access in both the process and performance.

Sunny Girl is supported by Arts Council England - therefore this role is paid at Equity Rates, including a preparation fee.  Full wage will be disclosed to applicants whom we meet to interview. 

We are looking for a female director who: 

1. Is Manchester based
   
2. Is willing to work closely and meaningfully with our core artist - Beth (both writer and performer). 
   
3. SG has been through a lengthy dramaturgy process; therefore the directors role is to work on SG as a finished piece; working with our creative team to deliver a finished product for premiere. This is not a dramaturgy role.
   
4. Work collaboratively with our access consultant, to integrate access into both performance and process. 
   
5. Run an open rehearsal process, where creatives and other team members are welcomed within the space.
   

We will be meeting with directors in April, in person. 

We are open to meeting with directors who still consider themselves ‘emerging’ and who do not have lengthy professional credits. Our goal is to find the right collaborator for Sunny Girl, who fits the project. 

To apply, please send a bit about yourself and your directors CV to [email protected]
