imitating the dog productions (ITDP) makes cutting edge theatre, site-specific digital projection and engagement projects. The company is based in the Northwest and receives regular funding from Arts Council England as a National Portfolio Organisation.

The company has an established board led by David Dolan Martin as Chair. We now have an opportunity for additional people to join our governing board. The ITDP board are the ‘guardians and conscience of the company’ as well as critical friends and advocates, making sure we perform to our best artistically, legally and financially.

We are seeking enthusiastic individuals with skills or experience in one or more of the following areas: working in arts and culture, legal matters, media and marketing, management, advocacy skills, fundraising, HR. We’d like to find people who are excited to join our board, who will support us as we create progressive theatre, support artists and young people, and bring inspiring cultural events to communities across the UK. 

ITDP is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion. We positively encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. We welcome applications from anyone regardless of their age, disability, ethnicity, heritage, gender, sexuality and socio-economic background. Adjustments will be made to meet any access requirements you have. 

Meetings are held quarterly, plus occasional additional training / Away Day meetings. All meetings are currently held in a hybrid fashion: members may join in person (usually in Manchester or Lancaster) or virtually. 

Please note that this is an unpaid, voluntary opportunity, but board members have the opportunity to undergo training, see our work and expenses are provided to cover travel and other associated costs.
