We are seeking eight dancers to perform in a new outdoor performance created by award winning choreographers Neil Bettles and Jonnie Riordan for ThickSkin. 



The performance will premiere at Oldham Pride Festival, supported by Oldham Coliseum this summer. 



We’re looking to create a bright, loud and vibrant movement show that explores moments of self-discovery and acceptance against the backdrop of contemporary queer culture. 





Working safely



ThickSkin is committed to creating a safe and comfortable work environment for everyone involved. We will be working to government legislation and guidance, as well as sector-specific good practice. This will involve taking regular lateral flow test for Covid-19.







This is a rolling deadline until audition spaces are filled. Please apply promptly if you are interested. 



Due to being a small team we will not be able to provide feedback on unsuccessful applications.
