ADVERT FOR WEBSITE DESIGNER

Advert for Website Designer

What we need

Accidental Collective is looking for a Website Designer based in East Kent to design and build an innovative, exciting and interactive website for the company’s new performance project, i am small THE WORLD IS BIG.

This is an excellent opportunity for a budding or experienced web designer to develop their skills and creativity and to collaborate on a truly exciting project. The website will be at the very heart of the project and will provide a great platform for a designer. Although we do not have a large budget, there is a small fee attached to this position, which can be discussed on application.

The website should

1. aesthetically reflect the project’s themes
2. appear inviting and user-friendly for audience and participants (aged 9-90!)
3. be interactive (different communities should be able to reflect on their
experiences and connect with each other via message boards, uploading photos etc)
4. allow for the company to easily update the content

Who are we?

We are Accidental Collective, an experimental theatre and live art company, based in Canterbury. We produce performance, live events and installations that act as provocations and aim to intervene in the everyday. Over the last four years, we have been funded by Canterbury City Council, Eastbourne Borough Council, Kent County Council, Arts Council England and Heritage Lottery Fund.

What is the project?

i am small THE WORLD IS BIG is a Kent-wide, multifaceted, participatory live art performance, funded by Kent County Council. It aims to positively connect communities across Kent through creative action and question the gaps between the individual, the local and the international. The project will begin with a series of workshops with a selection of diverse groups and communities from across Kent. In these workshops, these groups and communities will stitch together paper fragments of countries and regions cut out of atlases, thereby creating a section of a new version of the World. In a final celebratory event, each group’s section of the new World will be stitched together to form a whole.
