Theatre in rural Spain! Looking for artists interested in social work

Activity description

ON&OFF is a non-profit organisation that fosters rural development, sustainability, arts, and social inclusion through the power of theatre. Our initiatives blend learning and training opportunities within theatre, enriching people's lives while cultivating a sense of community. Join us in the village of Camprovín (La Rioja) for a 10-month journey: We're looking for 3 volunteers to dive into a mix of behind-the-scenes admin tasks (handling social media, content creation, assisting with Erasmus+ project management, etc.) and get hands-on with our theatre groups, events, and activities. Picture yourself helping in theatre groups for people with disabilities, getting creative with props and scenery, and leading workshops. You will also collaborate with the Town Hall in organising intergenerational cultural and leisure activities for Camprovinarte, a street art festival. Join us to shape the cultural landscape in La Rioja while promoting creativity, inclusivity, and change.

Accommodation, food and transport arrangements

You will work and live in Camprovín, a beautiful village with 182 inhabitants in La Rioja. It is a magical place with a strong local community, stunning landscapes and tons of possibilities for outdoor activities. But life here is also very remote: there are no regular shops, but there are different mobile vendors who come a few times a week. Our volunteers will live in a shared apartment with a fully equipped kitchen/common area, individual rooms, and a (super nice) rooftop terrace. There is an on-demand bus and a carpooling group. We offer monthly pocket and food money for each volunteer.

Training during the activity

Our volunteers will have support to create and develop their own personal projects as well as orientation sessions and training to perform the tasks related to this volunteering experience. Also, our volunteers will take part in two training courses (on arrival and at mid-term) organised by the Spanish National Agency. ON&OFF also offers the possibility to have Spanish classes.

Participant profile

We are looking for an open-minded person interested in theatre, who ideally already has experience in some field of arts and brings digital skills such as recording, editing photos and videos, graphic design for poster creation… As one of our missions is to bring life to rural areas, we need you to support us in this and to embrace rural living with all its ups and downsides! Our volunteers shall embrace equality and respect for diversity in all of its forms. Spanish is not compulsory, but we are looking for someone motivated to learn the language as many of our activities are in Spanish.
