Chris Singleton, Associate Artist at Mind the Gap, said: “This is a great opportunity for individuals and groups interested in theatre, performance, and technical production to work on a high-profile, professional event.

“Those involved will have the chance to make positive connections and become a part of a network of respected organisations such as Walk the Plank and Emergency Exit Arts – and of course Mind the Gap.”

Featuring a giant baby, 3D projection mapping, and an original music score, ZARA will perform in only two venues – The Piece Hall in April and Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park, Southwark, London in May.
