Southbank Centre is looking for creative, imaginative and committed young people between the ages of 16-22 to be part of London Literature Festival 2009.
Are you interested in literature, marketing, programming and performance? Could you work with a group of creative, like-minded people to produce an event for a world class literature festival?
From May to July, a team of young people will be supported through a series of creative master classes to develop skills as event producers and curators. Exploring the theme of escape and its destinations, the team will be collaborating with Southbank Centre staff, artists in residence and associates to develop, design and deliver an exciting event featuring spoken word, music and visual art.
You can see and hear about the show that young curators made for last years’ London Literature Festival in this podcast by creative mentor for the project, Yemisi Blake.
If you’re looking to get experience in event, production or marketing or if you’re interested in the arts more widely, we’re hoping to hear from you. There’s also the chance to get involved with blogging. You can listen to an interview with dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson, created by Michael Oladeji, our young Poetry International blogger, a few months ago.
For more information, contact us with your phone number, email address and a brief description of who you are and why you’d like to be involved. Keep 23rd May free for the recruitment day at Southbank Centre.
