Call out for Dance Artist – Protein Dance

Luca Silvestrini’s Protein is looking for a professional dance artist for their Real Life, Real Dance programme during Spring 2019. We are looking for a dance artist who is experienced in working with young people and has a keen interest in working with students from a pupil referral unit. Applicants must have skills in delivering community participation projects or dance in educational settings, and should be versatile performers that can demonstrate proficiency in teaching and devising choreography.

We welcome applicants from a diverse range of cultural and dance backgrounds, and encourage artists from BAME communities to apply.

 

The Project:

Part of Real Life, Real Dance: An Intensive Performance Project for a Pupil Referral Unit

Based on a model that Protein has developed over the past ten years, this project aims to build young people’s confidence, self-worth and achievement through their incorporation within a professional dance company. Over an intensive three-week residency at ARC Stockton, Protein will work with participants to create a performance presented at the end of the project to staff, family and friends. The project offers the participants an intense period of daily classes, creative workshops, rehearsals and work towards a performance for an audience.
