We are looking for young people aged 16-21 across the Leeds City Region who are interested in creativity, influencing change and decision-making. A cohort of 6 young curators will learn about different models of creating live performance and events, exchange with artists from across the globe, and come up with a brand new project idea for the Transform festival.
Transform is an international performance festival based in Leeds. We are a creative company nurturing new performance and reimagining what theatre can be. Our focus is bringing bold, brave, vivid and socially-conscious performance to the Leeds City Region and beyond.
Over the coming years, we want to invite younger people across the Leeds City Region to join us in imagining what our festivals can look like. We will be releasing a number of opportunities for younger people to be part of creating bold performance alongside artists from across the globe. We will support a collective of younger people to join us in creating extraordinary creative projects and festivals.

- Do you want to discuss and debate ideas that matter to you, your city and the world?
- Do you want to have a go at kickstarting creative projects that enable other younger people across the region to express themselves?
Application Procedure
