Director, 360 theatre leo&hyde

leo&hyde are a Manchester-based musical theatre company. We're a small and friendly team, who get excitable about new music, theatre and technology.

We’re looking for a Director with experience in working with VR in theatre, specifically someone who has made a piece of work using a 360 camera (and ideally, has access to one - though this is not essential).

ABOUT

Our new musical ‘Pop Art’ follows Mona Lisa as she hops from frame to frame on a journey through the history of art. Along the way she meets famous (and not-so-famous) faces from art history: Da Vinci and Michaelangelo to Frida Kahlo and Andy Warhol, with some lesser known artists like Artemesia Gentileschi, Farrukh Beg and and Mary Cassatt in between.

Watch our intro to Pop Art here, and hear some of the music.

We’re looking for a director with experience of VR theatre to help us film one song from the musical using a 360 camera, and for us to begin exploring the possibilities of 360 camera in storytelling, as part of our journey exploring ways in which we can feature VR within a musical. We hope it can lead to future work in this area in the future too.
