Future Leaders of Wales Carne Associate Director Programme

The Future Leaders of Wales - Carne Associate Director programme will address a recognised gap in leadership pathways for theatre directors in Wales.

Its aim is to help build a pipeline of future Artistic Directors rooted in Wales, ensuring that when leadership roles arise, organisations have skilled Welsh directors ready to step into them.

This multi-year programme will offer three 18-month, full-time Associate Director roles over five years. The Associate Directors will be embedded in the Sherman and will gain experience in programming, organisational strategy, fundraising, partnerships, governance and staff management.
