Young Creators Programme

Are you someone who loves live events? Do you enjoy watching live music and theatre but are more interested in making it happen than being in the spotlight? Do you enjoy getting your hands dirty and fixing stuff? Perhaps you were always the one who could get the television to work when no one else could? If you're simply looking to explore a new and exciting opportunity, then we have just the thing for you!

This is a unique and exciting opportunity to build your skills and ignite your passion for the performing arts. Route and LNZRT will programme a series of Walthamstow ‘lates’ cultural events with the specific aim of engaging young people in the borough.

We're excited to offer training opportunities and subsequent paid placements. 

These roles are a great opportunity to work and learn behind the scenes within a fast paced music environment, giving practical experience of how live music events are managed.

Minimal music industry experience is required and Route & LNZRT will provide training prior to the event along with breakfast, lunch and dinner if required on the day.

There will also be opportunities to continue this role throughout the series between August and November.
