About Odd Eyes Theatre
We’re a London based film and theatre charity dedicated to fostering diversity and promoting social mobility through artistic programmes and training opportunities. Since 2010, the organisation works with marginalised communities, particularly young people (14-35) and the elderly (60+). Our community experiences intersectional challenges linked to disability, neurodivergence, mental health, homelessness, migration status, and socio-economic barriers. These overlapping factors contribute to social exclusion, isolation, and limited career opportunities. By accessing Odd Eyes’ safe, inclusive space for creative expression in drama, film, media and leadership training, our participants build confidence, develop skills, and engage with their communities, ultimately getting much needed support on their journey towards active citizenship, personal transformation and employment opportunities.
What we offer
Experience of theatre and film production. A warm and welcoming working environment, insight into the arts and charity sector, flexibility around your commitments and an opportunity to use and/or develop your skills for meaningful impact.
