Theatr Clwyd as part of the Craidd Partnership are offering two Trainee placements in Set & Costume Design and Lighting & Video Design for Deaf, disabled and/or neurodivergent theatre-makers with a connection to Wales.

We are delighted to be offering placement opportunities in two areas of the production for talented theatre-makers:

1. Trainee Set & Costume Design Placement

2. Trainee Lighting & Video Design Placement.

This is open to theatre-makers (with a particular focus on Designers and Lighting / Video Designers) who have strong ties to Wales due to being born, raised or currently living in Wales and who identify as either Deaf, disabled and/or Neurodivergent.

They will benefit from a unique and bespoke package of support at Theatr Clwyd through the Craidd initiative.

We will offer these theatre-makers the opportunity to engage deeply with our 2026 production of Under Milk Wood by Dylan Thomas, directed by Kate Wasserberg.

The theatre-makers will also have the opportunity to explore their creativity in dialogue with the Theatre Making team at Theatr Clwyd.

These trainee placement positions will be full-time at Theatr Clwyd from 26th January to 20th March 2026. You will be expected to be at Theatr Clwyd full-time during this period

We are able to offer the Under Milk Wood Trainee Lighting & Video Designer a buy-out bursary payment of £5,150.00

Theatr Clwyd will also support the placement with a travel and subsistence budget of £2,970.00
