Are you a director with a burning idea for a family theatre project? If so, Tall Stories is encouraging you to apply for the Tall Stories Directors Award!
If your proposal is successful you will receive:
- Up to £4500 as a contribution to any costs for the week.
- One week of free rehearsal space at the Tall Stories Studio in Islington, week commencing 31 August, 7 September or 14 September 2026 - exclusive use 10am-6pm, Monday-Friday.
- The opportunity to have some sort of sharing at the end of the week – with or without an invited audience.
- An (optional) feedback/mentoring session with a Tall Stories team member(s).
We are committed to identifying and reducing barriers which may ordinarily exclude people from continued professional development. We particularly encourage applications from people whose backgrounds or lived experience are underrepresented in previous applications to our artist development opportunities. This includes people from the global majority, carers and people from low socio-economic backgrounds.
We are especially interested to hear from directors who live in Islington (and neighbouring boroughs).
