Babs, we are on the hunt for an incredible freelance producer to join the Fatt Projects team to help us deliver our upcoming project MOBILISE, a series of raucous, joyful and radical queer accessible sober social dance parties leading to the creation of a co-devised public space processional performance which will lead the 2022 Birmingham Pride Parade, as part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival.

The project producer will oversee the delivery of the project, working closely with the artistic director, a team of freelance creatives, and participants from the local LGBTQ+ community in Birmingham. 

The project is built around three core values: PARTY, PARTICIPATE, PROTEST. Together we will dance in the streets as an act of collective resistance, mobilising our bodies into a force for joy and transforming the city into runways and discos, in a riotous act of celebration. 

Project will be delivered between May-October 2022, with the final processional performance taking place at Birmingham Pride 2022 on Saturday 24th Sept. 

This is a project about queer joy, we recognise that the processes of making and centring joy are often deeply intertwined with grief and healing. As such this role will require a candidate whose work prioritises care, generosity, and critical thinking. 

This is a freelance position with a guaranteed fee of £9990 (based on 57 working days at £175 per day) with potential to expand to £14875 (based on 85 working days at £175 per day) subject to successful ACE bid (bid has already been submitted, outcome due in late April 2022)* 

Deadline to apply: 10:00 on Monday 4th April 2022.
Interviews will take place on Mon 11th & Tuesday 12th April.

*Please note that project funding is secure, we are awaiting the outcome of an additional funding application which will allow us to present the project on a larger scale (with additional parties, more artists, and higher final production values etc.) the overall shape and concept of the project will not change.
