Dance artist/performer audition

We are looking for a strong and versatile female presenting performer with exceptional technical dance skills. Ideally with existing acrobatic and hand-to-hand techniques or an interest in developing these skills.

We are passionate about exploration, skills development and creative collaboration and are a company committed to developing our own language by blending a wide range of movement and physical skills. We are looking for a brilliant performer who wants to join us on this journey and who is interested in evolving this unique language with us.

We work hard and we work year-round. Our performers are full-time employees, paid all year. We perform extensively both indoors and outdoors, nationally and internationally.

We impress and delight our audiences, but we also want to move them too. We want our work to provoke thought and conversation and to be emotionally involving. We believe in the power of performance to change lives. It has always been important to us that the company on stage reflects and represents the society in which we live. We look for performers who will bring a diverse range of backgrounds, cultures, perspectives and life experiences to our creative process and enable the richest possible creative conversation. If this sounds like the company for you, please read on.

The audition will take place in our creation space in Leamington Spa. Attendance is by registration only. The audition process will take place over 4 days, with gradually reducing numbers invited to stay. The first round will be on 13 & 14 August, with each applicant being assigned to an initial audition on one of these dates. Recalls will then run on 15 & 16 August and will be by invitation based on the first round.
