Work with us

Casting & Collaboration

We don’t run auditions for any of our projects. We think it’s a false economy that actors are the only creatives in our industry who have to constantly prove their skills in recruitment. Instead, we are much more interested in having conversations with artists across all disciplines about our projects as equal collaborators. 

We regularly put out public casting and collaboration calls for our projects.

  • Applications for actor-musicians for our upcoming production, Shirley: An Awakening have now closed. Check back soon or sign up to our newsletter or follow us on socials to find out about upcoming opportunities.

Workshops

All archipelago arts collective projects include wraparound engagement projects for participants and artists. We have also delivered bespoke workshops around our practice for accredited arts degree courses.

Artist Development

For every archipelago arts collective project we ring-fence one role for a recent graduate or early-career artist. We also offer open rehearsal room days across all our projects for any artists who are interested in observing our process, alongside specific project-specific workshops.

We are always excited to hear from artists across all disciplines who are interested in our work. Get in touch by emailing Beth or Seán.
