Cheek by Jowl work placement

Cheek by Jowl was founded (in 1981) by Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod.

They’ve done great work, Declan as director

“At the theatre we keep our eye on extremities that might engulf us. In an act of theatre you assemble eight or nine hundred people in a space, then together you touch these dangerous feelings vicariously.”

Nick as designer

“Theatre is very pragmatic. It’s no good coming in with a vision and thinking you’re going to realise something purely from your own mind, because the process of working with people makes your vision change.”

“One of the essential things about Cheek by Jowl is that it’s collaborative. It always puzzles me when designers tell me they would never enter into a discussion with an actor, that they’d just tell them what they will be wearing.”

They live together. I wonder what dinner is like after a hard day’s rehearsal.

Still, it would be a great place to gain work experience and they are currently looking (see below), so if you fancy it or know of some one who would, drop them a line.
