Dance City Christmas Show Creative Director

Dance City is creating a Community Christmas Show based on the songs from the hit film, The Greatest Showman. This will be a family friendly show, and will be promoted widely to the public as an alternative festive event. All proceeds from ticket sales will go to the charitable aims of Dance City.

Dance City Does The Greatest Showman will use the inspirational songs to present a fantastic celebration of the diversity, energy and fun that dance brings to our community classes and young learners.

The performances will include a number of Dance City’s learning academy groups, community classes, some invited local community groups and some Dance City staff.

We would like to appoint a Creative Director to help us realise the vision, support the community group choreographers and bring together the inclusive theme of The Greatest Showman in a unified way.

Performances of the Christmas show will be:

Thursday 20, Friday 21 and Saturday 22 December with a matinee as well on the Saturday.

As well as the performances, the Creative Director will lead full cast rehearsals on the evenings of Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 with a full dress tech run on Wednesday 18 December.

The Creative Director will take up leadership of the project immediately, working flexibly and proactively towards key events including presenting a number from the show at Dance City’s season launch event in September, and the full show in December.

We are looking for someone who can commit to the timeframe, has a great flair for fun, community and audience involved shows, has a track record and is passionate about creating great, inclusive events.

The fee offered is £2,000. To apply, send a proposal outlining your previous experience and daily/hourly rate. Please tell us why you want the role and how you would approach the project. Send your proposal to caroline.greener@dancecity.co.uk by 5pm on Wednesday 13 June.
