Position Title:
Production Assistant
Organization:
The Only Animal is taking theatre places it has never been before. The Only Animal creates
theatre work that arises from a deep engagement with place. The elemental identity of our
west coast home is often the inspiration of our site-specific works. We have worked in water,
sand, snow and ice, with trees. The imagination is another primal site of our exploration, and
we are just as rigorous in our mining of it. The potency of these places prepare our selves
and our audiences for the adventure of exploring the landscape of the inner world. In this
way, The Only Animal is all about being human. And we often challenges set notions of who
is an artist. The work ranges from intimate shows for an audience of one to large-scale
spectacle. But all of this work is huge. We love the impossible. www.theonlyanimal.com
