About Northern Rascals
Northern Rascals are a multi-disciplinary performance company based in Leeds. With their unique blend of theatre and contemporary dance, the company crafts the abstract and absurd to lead audiences to narratives rooted in the current socio-political climate. With a direct focus on mental wellbeing and a commitment to lead with kindness, Northern Rascals endeavour to make authentic work that with the power of imagination has the ability to make a direct impact on a wide variety of audiences.

About the Project
The successful applicant will join our team in the studio for the development of SHED – a performance work spanning dance, visual art and spoken word that raises awareness of the issues young people face with their mental health. Performed by a small cast of dancers in a pop-up structure, SHED invites its audience to stand on the outside and look in. A chance to witness real-life experiences told in a series of shorts, the audience get a glimpse of the stories that make us – a portrait of love and loss and the essential humanity that resides in us all.

Invited applicants will also be considered for future projects Sunny Side and Reviving Her.
