Description
Our site, set deep in the middle of France, amidst rolling green fields and lakes is home to a legendary French travelling theatre company. For over 20 years the company has used this idyllic site as their base where they have run workshops, created shows and organized festivals in their studio Theatre and trademark Big Top Tent.
There are four buildings on site including an accommodation block for over 30 people, toilets and showers and a kitchen. The Company has been very busy touring around the world with their wonderful shows, and this year we have decided to focus on giving the buildings and grounds some much needed renovations and love. We are looking for enthusiastic, young and skilled people with a love for theatre and the arts to come and help us with some much needed cleaning, painting and gardening. You will get to meet some of the actors from the company, and maybe even look in on some of the rehearsals for our two new shows coming this year! There are also regular gigs and workshops to attend, and you will receive delicious meals and accommodation in our beautiful buildings.
