Test a mobile game? Or work with artists?<\/p>\n<p>Blast Theory is a company that makes interactive art: we turn websites and mobile apps into thrilling entertainment experiences; create feature films where actors and stories respond to you in real time; design events where your phone guides you on real-life adventures through the city; and make mobile games that invite you to reimagine yourself and your future.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re a friendly team of nine people, working closely together to deliver projects. We\u2019ll offer support throughout your time with us: including mentoring sessions to give careers guidance and practical advice with things like CVs and job applications; a full induction to get to know the studios, the team and the projects we\u2019re working on; and helping you to learn new skills like editing and video production. If you\u2019re working on your own creative projects, we\u2019ll also support you in developing your ideas.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cInterning at Blast Theory has improved my professional and personal confidence a massive amount. A career in the arts seemed very daunting and unachievable prior to this placement (&#8230;) however, with Blast Theory\u2019s encouragement and teaching I feel like there are many more options available to me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Alyx Ashton (Intern in 2021)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4>What we are looking for<\/h4>\n<p>You\u2019ll be at least 18 years old, and eager to expand your skills and learn about working in an artist-led company. You can be at any stage in your career, and have a variety of interests. You don\u2019t need to know exactly what career you want to pursue.<\/p>\n<h4>Equal opportunities<\/h4>\n<p>We\u2019re an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications from people who are less represented in our sector: particularly people of colour, those with disabilities (including \u2018invisible\u2019 disabilities such as dyslexia or autism), and people from lower socioeconomic backgrounds. We recognise that these identities often intersect.<\/p>\n<h4>How to apply<\/h4>\n<p>Keep an eye out on our social media channels and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blasttheory.co.uk\/subscribe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sign up to our newsletter<\/a> for new opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>You must be over 18 to apply and have the right to work in the UK.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you would like us to keep your CV on file for short-term opportunities, please contact <a href=\"mailto:kizzie@blasttheory.co.uk\">kizzie@blasttheory.co.uk<\/a> or call us on <a href=\"tel:01273413455\">01273 413455<\/a> if you have any questions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Blast Theory&#8217;s paid internship programme is generously supported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blasttheory.co.uk\/thanks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blast Theory donors<\/a>\u00a0and <a href=\"http:\/\/chalkclifftrust.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Chalk Cliff Trust<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About the internship We believe in fair pay and since 2017 we have been fundraising to gradually replace our volunteer programme with paid placements.
