Observer Traineeships

Observer Traineeships offer emerging directors a closely mentored opportunity to observe the entire rehearsal period of a Tamasha production, from the first day in the studio to the opening night performance.  We also offer the opportunity to observe in workshops and other events.

Combining observation with in-depth trainee / mentor conversations, practical exercises and involvement in creative and production meetings, Observer Traineeships provide first-hand experience of Tamasha’s practice and allows space for each trainee to explore this approach in relation to his/her own creative process.

Observer Traineeships are currently available on the following projects:

A Fine Balance

Tamasha’s adaptation of Rohinton Mistry’s Booker-shortlisted novel is being remounted at the Hampstead Theatre in Spring 2007.
