CLICK HERE TO SIGN-UP TO VOLUNTEER FOR FIERCE FESTIVAL 2024
Fierce Festival is looking for enthusiastic and reliable people to play a vital role in creating an unforgettable festival experience across the city of Birmingham!
Fierce is back this year with its first programme of contemporary international performance under new Director (Artistic) Clayton Lee. Bringing over 15 productions from 9 countries to Birmingham for a week with many artists presenting work in the UK for the very first time, this year’s programme is a collection of artists celebrating queer, disabled, and trans futurism; colliding with classical and contemporary forms; and exploring the body as a site of endurance, feeling, and beauty.
Be part of the action and volunteer with Fierce Festival 2024. If you are passionate about the arts, counter culture and amazing parties we would love to hear from you!
Why Volunteer?
Fierce is an internationally recognised biennial festival of Live Art including theatre, music, installations, public interventions, workshops, talks and digital projects. In the wake of catastrophic cuts to Birmingham’s public services following the City Council’s effective bankruptcy, the festival of international contemporary performance returns to the city with a renewed spirit of urgency and defiance, populating a range of cultural venues and unusual spaces.

- Meet amazing artists and other like-minded people
- Expenses covered
- Get first-hand experience of working on a festival, developing the skills required to make performances and events happen.
- Concession or free tickets to events (subject to availability)
What will you be doing?
- Act as a main point of contact for information about the festival, the programme and the city for visitors from near and far.
- Support the marketing team in advance of and during the festival (this may involve distributing fliers, documentation, social media etc).
- Meet and greet audience members at installations, performances, and off-site projects (this may include ticket checks, some clip-board brandishing – collecting website sign-ups, conducting surveys, selling promotional items, distributing fliers and maps etc.)
- Provide support to the production team (may involve moving equipment, furniture, running errands etc.)
Specialised Roles
If there is a particular area you are interested in getting experience in or skills you really want to develop, please let us know on the sign-up form and our Volunteer Coordinator will be in touch about how we can help facilitate that.
