Boundless Theatre Advisory Group “Boundless Theatre to me means no limits.”
Ashley, Boundless Adviser
The Boundless Advisory Group is at the heart of everything we do. To keep us in check and to ensure we are being ambitious with our plans we have advisors made up of teenagers and young adults who are drawn from different backgrounds and interests and across the UK.
“It’s happening right in front of you, you can’t press pause, you can’t stop.”
Fin, Boundless Adviser
Our Advisors meet with us regularly to share with us what they think about the world, and the work that we create. We talk about big ideas, attend events and discuss what excites us most about being young today. In return we offer mentoring, support for creative projects and resources that build resilience. We have a dedicated budget that is spent by the Advisory Group directly each year and are always looking for new ways to break down boundaries between arts organisations and young people.
The Boundless Advisory Group meets every Monday afternoon during the UK Covid-19 lockdown.
Advisory Group 2021/22 New Members Welcome
We’re looking for 5 new members to join the Advisory Group for 2021/22 and have opened the process up to any 15-25 year olds based in the UK. All you have to do is complete an expression of interest survey (on the link below) and then we’ll be in touch with next steps.
The Advisory Group meets weekly on zoom to discuss new ideas, receive support for own projects and take part in strategic and creative decision making that affects how Boundless works. In addition to this throughout the year there are opportunities to have your own projects supported, meet socially and observe our creative work as well as board meetings. Our Advisory Group have front row seats at everything we do and each year we’re passionate about evolving and changing up how we work together to keep things fresh and relevant.
There is flexibility around time commitments and each Advisory Group member can design their own relationship to the group and Boundless. So long as you’re committed to joining us at least once a month for a meeting and being available for conversations you’ll be able to fit the group around studies, work and your social life easily.
The Application Process
Within 4 weeks of submitting your expression of interest you’ll have met an existing member for a 15 minute informal chat and should the current members think you’ll make a great addition to the group be invited to observe an Advisory Group meeting. We’ll contact you throughout that time to keep you up to date on your application.
How The Advisory Group Will Make Its Decision
Over the next 6 months we’re looking for 5 new members to join the group who will ensure that:
- there is an even spread of ages from 15-25
- there is a diverse geographical mix of advisors from across the UK
- the Advisory Group is representative of Gen Z and Millennials (including ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, disability, class and those less represented in the arts & culture industries)
- diverse skillsets and interests
- any other gaps in representation the Advisory Group chooses to address
We aim to keep the group to a maximum of 15 members to ensure that Boundless can fully support and work closely with everyone as well as provide mentoring and access to opportunities. For those who are unsuccessful this time, we are setting up an exciting new way of growing our community and will share more on that through the process.
