What we expect from you: We require good teamwork and organizational skills from the applicant. You will be responsible for the team’s work, project scheduling, budgeting, and reporting. Previous experience is not a necessity but is considered an advantage for this position.

The Director and scriptwriter of the Speksi

Are you interested in creative work and leaving your mark on Pörssi’s legendary Speksi? 

What is Speksi? Pörssi’s renowned vappu speksi dates back to 2017. Speksi itself is an interactive student theater that usually includes acting, music, and sometimes dance. The actual subject of the play can be almost anything. Speksi is characterized by “omstart” moments. When someone in the audience shouts “Omstart” with a specific command, such as “omstart in English,” the play must be repeated in English within a reasonable time. 

The event itself and its organization are the responsibility of Pörssi’s event coordinators, so the director and scriptwriter for Speksi are only responsible for matters related to the play. 

What you get from the role: This role offers unique experience in project planning and people management, as the director is responsible for the entire project. Additionally, the role allows for the use of creativity in a fun way and the opportunity to express oneself together with other Pörssi members. The director also has the opportunity to recruit a team to support the scriptwriting. 

What we expect from you: Scriptwriting and directing Speksi involves creative and independent work. Therefore, it’s essential to have organizational skills, writing skills, and creativity. Previous experience in similar roles is not necessary since having support from event coordinators and previous Speksi directors is available.

How to apply: Send an informal application to tapahtuma@porssiry.fi by Sunday, November 23rd, at 23:59 with the subject “Director for Speksi Application 2024.” The current and new event coordinators of Pörssi will be involved in the recruitment process. (The applications  won’t be public to other members.) 

P.S. All actors, singers, dancers, and other performers for Speksi will be recruited in early 2024 – stay tuned!
