We are thrilled to announce the appointment of two new Slingsby team members.
In the new role of Associate Artist, Georgia Stanley will travel around Australia with our production The Young King this year, supporting local artists who collaborate with us on the immersive elements of the show and providing tour management for our touring artists. Georgia will also work with us to develop our Education and Hall of Possibility Artist in Residence Programs.
In the new role of Production Manager, Van Locker will provide advance technical and production planning for our international touring productions as well as contributing to new work in development and supporting the Hall of Possibility. This primarily Adelaide based role will support the ongoing work of our incredible touring production teams.
The establishment of these roles marks an exciting new stage in Slingsby’s growth. We can’t wait for Georgia and Van to contribute their skill and passion to the Journey ahead as we tour to thirty-five venues across eight countries in 2019.
Welcome aboard!
