A PAID OPPORTUNITY FOR 18-26 YEAR-OLDS! JOIN OUR UPLIFTERS PROGRAMME

A unique, paid training opportunity for 18-26 year olds looking to take their next step into the world of producing great art and culture.

If you’re a young Londoner with the appetite for making things happen, we want to hear from you!

We are seeking passionate and excited individuals with the energy to make things happen. LIFT is looking for an enthusiastic group of young adults to help shape the 2022 festival programme, by working on programming and producing a performance or live event.

You don’t need experience in producing or working in live events to apply, but an excitement for culture and a desire to
develop your own sense of self is key.

Every two years, LIFT presents a festival full of daring and relevant culture, international perspectives and unforgettable theatre. Whether it’s a much-loved venue, iconic landmark or unsung corner of London, LIFT gathers Londoners around incredible art. We want our audiences to feel more London and more global every time they encounter LIFT. We’d love for you to join us…
