Recruiting of Paid Volunteer Staff for ricca ricca*festa 2023 is closed.
Thank you for your application！（2023.5.18 added）
－－－－－－－－－－
We are currently recruiting Paid Volunteer Staff for ricca ricca*festa 2023 (International Theatre Festival for Children and Youth Okinawa 2023) – to help build the festival together!
Every year, ricca ricca*festa organises a program entitled ‘My Theatre‘. It is based at each venue of the festival and aimed towards creating a better theatre experience for festival visitors and the artists who perform there.
Other than simply show people to the entrance or hand out tickets and so on, there are a number of further things to consider and plan for such as:
– How can we make the audience feel comfortable when they enter the venue?
– How can we ensure that the audience enjoys the performance in the best possible environment?
– How can we prepare for the artists to perform at the venue so that they can fully demonstrate their abilities?
The aim of the programme is to create a better theatre experience through the ingenuity and cooperation of each group based on important questions and considerations such as these.
The programme also includes student interns from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore and other overseas countries, so staff interaction is also an important aspect of the role.
Mixed groups of local volunteers and international student interns will be formed, and each group will be assigned a venue to work on in order to improve that venue.
Workshops for ‘My Theatre’ volunteer staff will be held before the festival, so it is perfectly fine if you have no previous experience. We welcome anyone who is interested in theatre and event management, as well as those who are interested in working in an international environment and learning hospitality to welcome guests or working with children!
