Interviews: Monday 23rd March
29 March to 9 April (inclusive)
Beginning and ending in Bristol, but mainly in London
Roaring Girl Productions (RGP) is recruiting a Personal Assistant (PA) for artist-activist Liz Crow to assist her during a key phase of her latest performance project.
A PA is employed and directed by a disabled person to give assistance with whatever tasks the employer finds difficult to carry out unaided and working to the employer’s specific instructions.
RGP is a creative media company based in Bristol, working in film, audio, text and performance. We combine high quality creative work with practical activism. You can find out more at www.roaring-girl.com.
Liz’s latest project is Figures (wearefigures.co.uk), a mass-sculptural durational performance taking place in response to the UK government’s austerity programme. Figures is setting out to represent the human cost of austerity and to urge action against it.
On the foreshore of the Thames, Liz will sculpt 650 small human figures from excavated raw river mud, each one representing an individual at the sharp end of austerity. As the incoming tide forces retreat, the figures will be removed to safety. Each time the water recedes, the artist will return to sculpt more figures, in a ritual spanning 11 consecutive days and nights.
As a PA, you would be working closely with Liz, but also within the project team, as follows:
1. Your primary role is to provide direct personal assistance for Liz. This includes driving, lifting, some personal care, and food preparation.
2. In addition, you may be asked to undertake a variety of other production tasks, as needed, including loading, driving, administration, etc.
3. Ideally, you will also be a named first aider for the project and able to undertake first aid should the need arise. [This element of the brief is desirable rather than essential.]
Accommodation and meal allowance will be provided.
