The role
Through this recruitment drive, formidAbility aims to create an Affiliate Pool of disabled and non disabled artists who align with our vision and artistic aims. We want to discover your talents and get to know you through this drive, and then aim to best match your skills to potential future engagements with our company.
Being an organisation reliant on project funding presents challenges with casting openly for roles. The creation of our new Affiliate Pool is our way of addressing this. We want to ensure that we are casting openly and fairly as part of our key aim to improve equality to the opera industry. Our new Affiliate Pool will be first port of call for future projects. We can offer a small amount of immediate paid induction work for the successful applicants; a small subset of Affiliates will join a 4-day professional development pilot with creative research & development. We hope to roll this professional development out to all Affiliates at a later date, alongside other project work.
All successful Affiliate Pool applicants will be engaged for an initial short-term programme of paid time to attend:
an online induction programme including group onboarding meeting and webinar on Access to Work for the arts
an online one-to-one meeting with our Access Coordinator to create or work on your own Access Rider
A small subset of the successful Affiliates will be invited to join a paid professional development pilot with creative research & development taking place in Birmingham in August.
BSL-fluent actors in our Affiliate Pool will be considered first for formidAbility’s future creative projects. By being part of our Affiliate Pool, potential future paid work may include:
Performing roles in public performances of staged, semi-staged and concert public performances of new and/or core repertoire
Taking part in the research and development phase of new productions and / or new operatic works
Taking part in professional development / training related to specific artistic projects
Developing and leading community and / or educational workshops linked to our public performances
The Person
We are looking for signing performers who have the passion to sign songs and opera. We are looking for adventurous artists who are open to working in new ways and who share our vision of an inclusive opera sector where everyone feels welcome.
We are looking for professional BSL-fluent actors who
Completed their formal acting studies at least 3 years ago
Are interested in working in disability-led arts
Are committed to equality and access
Have experience leading educational and / or community workshops
Have a right to work in the UK
In line with our primary artistic mission, we want all of our workforce to reflect the diversity and inclusion we work so hard to present onstage. We welcome applications from people from communities currently underrepresented in the opera industry, especially those identifying as Deaf or disabled, LGBTQIA+ people, and people from the Global Majority.
We are particularly keen to hear from Birmingham and Midlands-based BSL actors, but welcome applications from actors based across the UK.
If you have applied to work with us in the past, we welcome you to apply again.
Fees
The rate of pay for the successful Affiliates to attend online induction and training meetings is £30 per hour.
All successful Affiliates:
online onboarding and induction: £30 per hour
meeting with our Access Coordinator: £30 per hour
Some successful Affiliates will take part in our professional development pilot with creative research & development:
Four days in person work in Birmingham, 26-29 August 2025, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire
£200 per day plus travel, accommodation and subsistence
At this stage, there is no guarantee of future project work, however formidAbility has a good track record of securing funding to make ambitious creative projects happen. We budget to pay fees at least in line with ITC / Equity / MU rates.
Key dates:
30 May: Deadline for Affiliate Pool applications
1-2 July: BSL Actor auditions (CBSO Centre, Birmingham, in-person)
18 July: Online Affiliate Pool onboarding and induction day - online
11-25 July: Individual meetings between Affiliates and Access Coordinator (to be arranged according to availability)
For some Affiliates: 26-29 August 2025: Professional development pilot with creative research & development (Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, in-person)
