Penrhyn Castle has a dark, gritty past. The legacy of the estate is punctured by a single, angry, damaging event; the Great Strike, one of the largest disputes ever seen in the industrial history of Britain, which changed the local community forever. The three year long strike created huge divisions within the quarrying community greatly impacting many lives and families along the way, which still echoes today.聽
We don鈥檛 show this side of the Castle. But we want to. And we鈥檝e got funding 鈥� thanks to a pioneering programme within the ACG动漫 鈥� to completely re-create the visitor experience here. We鈥檙e moving on from the experience you鈥檇 expect with facts and ropes and want to create emotional engagement, something all-encompassing, immersive and interactive, by giving our visitors the whole truth about everything that鈥檚 happened here, brought to life through drama and theatricality. Emotional engagement is the pinnacle of every visitor鈥檚 experience and that鈥檚 what we鈥檙e aiming for.
We want to change the way people interact with our heritage. This project will certainly do that. We鈥檝e got a hugely important story to tell about Penrhyn Castle and we鈥檙e not sharing it. This is the one opportunity we have to change that. And do it in a radical, innovative and exciting way. This will revolutionise our visitor experience and, hopefully, transform our perception amongst the local community.
We need a Creative Project Manager to bring the multi-layered stories here to life, populating the castle with lives and stories, not just facts. You鈥檒l use lighting, sound, scriptwriters, graphics, construction, innovative presentation 鈥� whatever you need and whatever you want to ensure the rich history here is expressed through a range of voices and perspectives, starting debate and dialogue, and above all connecting with our visitors.
We鈥檙e looking for someone artistic and creative to bring this controversial story to life in a way that allows visitors to draw their own conclusions about what鈥檚 happened here and why. An inspirational leader that gets colleagues, volunteers and the local community on board with what we want to achieve. Attracting new audiences, but better serving our existing ones, too. Speaking and working with the local community to get real perspectives. And it鈥檒l be an experience that can evolve and develop, we don鈥檛 want it to remain static, we want it to stay fresh, something that can be visited time and time again.
鈥淵ou鈥檒l turn everything we have currently on its head, creating a mind-blowing experience for our visitors,鈥� says Nerys Jones, General Manager at Penrhyn Castle. 鈥淵ou鈥檒l confidently bring the project from conception, through research and design to production 鈥� ensuring every single detail is met with flair and attention.鈥� 聽
This is a chance for you to make your mark, leading the way for future projects just like this one across the ACG动漫.
