Call out for two Company Dancers

Company Chameleon is offering the exciting opportunity for two experienced Company Dancers to join our core creative team from June in a full-time salaried position with the Company at our home studio in Manchester, UK.

We’d love to hear from you if you’re an experienced dance artist who has received training from a recognised school or conservatoire, and you have:

• Excellent contemporary technique and contact improvisation / partnering skills 
• At least two years’ experience working in a professional touring dance company
• Extensive performance experience
• Familiarity and openness to different choreographic approaches and 
• Proficient teaching skills and experience of teaching dance with different age groups

As a key member of the creative team, your role will cover three main areas of responsibility:

1. Create, rehearse and perform Company repertoire (indoor venues / outdoor festivals)
2. Assist Artistic Director and Rehearsal Director in choreographic and creative development of residencies/projects
3. Actively engage in the delivery of learning and participation programmes, delivering classes and workshops at our studio, in schools and an array of community settings

Whilst the role primarily involves working at Chameleon’s home studio in Manchester, the successful candidate will also be expected to tour nationally and internationally throughout the year. Locations vary depending on the Company’s touring schedule and projects taking place at that time.

The successful applicants will be required to relocate to Manchester, if not already residing in the city.

Company Chameleon particularly welcomes applications from Black, Asian and ethnically diverse individuals. These groups remain under-represented across the dance workforce, and we are committed to changing that. Diversity has been central to our identity since the company was founded almost 20 years ago, our founders are people of colour and it is embedded in everything we do.
