ADF Innovators 2022

When theatre venues and companies recruit a new Artistic Director they look for candidates who are practising artists. A large part of an Artistic Director role includes directing shows and programming seasons but to be considered for an interview, you also need to have strategic planning, operations management and relationship building skills. ADF Innovators will support up to 10 theatre professionals in the UK to develop their own project idea through a series of training sessions that will cover such requirements of the Artistic Director role. One chosen participant will receive a 6-month placement at ADF and a budget to launch their project.
