The Brief

PRODUCE Sarai for Crying in the Wilderness Productions at the Arcola Theatre.

DESIGN collaterals for campaign, sponsorship proposal and online marketing for pre-production.

PRODUCE content for the production website.

Sarai is a strikingly modern, multi-sensory theatrical experience with powerfully uplifting live music. It breathes new life into an ancient mystery and unravels the stories we live with.

The Role

MANAGE operational aspects and logistics of the Sarai production including budgets, contracts, schedules, initial marketing design, fund raising and liaising with PR in the pre-production stage.

DESIGN the digital marketing collaterals for the funding raising and sponsorship campaign. 

PRODUCE content for Crying in the Wilderness Productions' Sarai production webpages.

PROMOTE production on social media platforms:  Twitter and Facebook.

The artistic vision for Sarai was to break free in practise from the dogma of western dramatic storytelling and adopt instead an intercultural philosophical approach to theatre making to promote the universality of our themes.
