Are any of your students interested in working in a theatre?
Polka will be back running our extremely popular Work Experience Week from Mon 3 Jul – Fri 7 Jul 2023.
We work with a group of 20 students from school years 10 to 13. The group will spend time with all departments at Polka including production, marketing, fundraising, creative learning and visitors service. They will learn about how we make theatre for children, and experience how an arts organisation is run. As part of the week all students will get to see our current productions, take part in practical workshops and present a production pitch to the Polka team.
Applications for Work Experience 2023 are now open! If you or one of your students are interested in applying to take part in our Polka Work Experience Week, download an application form below or get in touch for more information.
We particularly support our local secondary schools in placing their students for work experience, and because of this priority is given to students who live or study in Merton, Wandsworth or Croydon.
As there is a large demand for placements at Polka we highly recommend that relevant experience is clearly stated in the application form, along with what the student would hope to gain from a placement.
Please note, unfortunately, we are unable to offer work placements outside of the dates above.
For any further information, please contact Elysia, Schools Relationship Officer.
