Description:
New Creations Collective are looking for 2 Male and 3 Female Dancers to join the company for the upcoming summer tour of Nightingale.
Where: South East England
When: 26th June – 20th August
Deadline for applications: 5pm Friday 24th February
New Creations Collective are looking to cast 3 Female dancers and 2 Male dancers for their exciting brand-new production Nightingale – a biographical ballet based on the life and works of Florence Nightingale.
The production is an outdoor show touring to open air theatres, parks and heritage sites across the South East Region this summer.
Dancers must have at least 3 years of professional vocational training in both ballet and contemporary. All dancers must have very good natural acting ability as storytelling is at the heart of the performance. Due to some more rural performance locations the ability to drive would be useful, but not essential.
Dancers must be open to working collaboratively during the process of creating this new production. Dancers must be reliable, willing to work outdoors, fully committed to excellence and professionalism and passionate about the company’s chief principles and aims.
We are open to hearing from both experienced professionals and recent graduates.
Applicants must have the right to work in the UK, as the company cannot sponsor overseas visas.
Applicants MUST be available for all of the following dates. The addition of further performance dates is possible so we will therefore be asking cast members for first refusal on all dates between 15th July-20th August.
