GREEN TEAM VOLUNTEERS

We are on a mission to reduce the environmental impact of Brainchild year on year, and this has only been possible with the huge help of our wonderful Green Team volunteers! As a member of the Green Team you will help with the successful delivery of our recycling system and engaging with people on sustainability matters. We can’t dress this up to be an overly glamorous job, but it is essential and we do promise to make it as fun as we possibly can because leaving no trace is important. Read more about the role here & apply by emailing working@brainchildfestival.co.uk with ‘Green Team’ as the subject line, giving a little information about yourself and why you’d like to be involved.

HATCH SUBMISSIONS

Hatch is our cosy, rough-round-the-edges mixed bill night for sharing new ideas and works in progress. We adapted these events to a digital format, hosting short performances of early-stage works in an online broadcast, with the aim of encouraging audience feedback and new creative connections.

Applications are currently closed as we have no events upcoming, but we intend to re-start in early Autumn 2021 – please check back as we regularly call out for new ideas.
