We are seeking an exceptional choreographer to join us for our latest production: a contemporary ballet adaptation of The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen. 

Known as one of Andersen's best loved fairytales, The Snow Queen charts one girl's epic journey to save her missing friend trapped in a never-ending winter. In this new stage adaptation, we are bringing together contemporary ballet with spoken word and an original score to tell a story that is dynamic and exciting; at times very powerful, at times heartwarming; and ultimately very beautiful. 

The production is planned to tour outdoor spaces in the South East from December 2020.

We are seeking a choreographer who is extremely collaborative and who is experienced in creating work with a strong narrative drive. You must be comfortable choreographing for a small cast of four dancers, and for non-traditional performance spaces (including working on grass and concrete). As we are a Sussex-based company, we are seeking a choreographer who is based in the South East. Rehearsals will take place in East Sussex.

The show is being produced in a COVID-secure manner and you must be willing to consult on, and adhere to, our COVID-19 risk assessment.

You must be available to work part-time from 28th September-5th December 2020.

We are guaranteeing a minimum flat fee of £1,200 but aim to pay Equity rates to all of our company, conditional on the full tour going ahead (given uncertainties around COVID-19). We are particularly enthusiastic to hear from applicants who could also perform in our cast for an additional wage.

If you are interested in the role then please send a portfolio and covering note by 10am, Monday 21st September 2020. Interviews over Zoom will be held on 23rd and 24th September.
