Role Title: Part-time Programmer, The Lyric Theatre
(Full name: Friends of the Lyric Theatre, C.I.C.)
Responsible to: Artistic Director, Lyric Theatre
Contract terms: Fixed-term freelance contract, June 2024-March 2025
36 days over 10 months @ £150/day (circa 1 day/week flexible); responsible for managing their own time
Contract Fee: £5400 (payable £540 / month on receipt of invoice) Main tasks of the Theatre Programmer
To work with the Artistic Director and Administrator to lead on programming at The Lyric Theatre.
The Lyric Theatre is an Artist and Female led C.I.C. which operates as a hub for creatives, locally, nationally and internationally. The Lyric has a mission to provide space for creatives, professional and non-professional to further and deepen their creative practice. The Lyric responds to offers and ideas as well as presenting performances as different stages of the creation process, through to finished, touring work. The C.I.C. has recently secured funding from Bridport Town Council and Dorset County Council to work in partnership with Bridport Arts Centre.
We seek a Theatre Programmer to work with our team in a dynamic organisation that responds to our community of audience members, participants and artists. The organisation has a creative culture, with many team members having an artistic practice of their own, many of whom are involved in the local community. We have a team of generous and motivated volunteers who are the beating heart of what we do.
The Lyric is known for being the venue in the town and county that is experimental and artist led. It often brings unexpected offers and the organisation is action-led and vibrant in its thinking.
We run a part-time programme of events, some at The Lyric and some as outreach into community spaces. Events are approximately once a week. We also hire the main theatre space to others for rehearsals and occasionally for celebrations or live music.
Pre-covid, the theatre let out space for a café to operate at the front of the building. Although we currently do not have a café tenant, this is something we seek during this coming year. The café creates a fun space for people to meet and, in the summer, operates outside on the pavement.
The Theatre Programmer will work with the team to ensure that the programme connects with our local community as audience and supports the community of working artists in Dorset and the SW. This year Bridport is a pilot for The Town of Culture initiative and the programmer will work to enhance the mission of the Town of Culture through our
programme. They will be expected to work in the building when possible with some remote working possible. Days in the building would ideally be attached to some of the programme. You will be expected to attend a number of meeting with partners.
