THE OPPORTUNITY

Record-breaking dance theatre company, Casson & Friends (C&F), are seeking to connect with UK based performers for a re-tour of current work PREPPERS, The Dance WE Made, and future projects in 2022 and beyond.

We are looking for performers who are:

  • confident in working creatively, collaboratively and co-devising

  • comfortable in working with, learning, and delivering text

  • interested to rehearse and perform in unconventional settings (including indoor and outdoor public spaces, beaches, forests, and nuclear bunkers)

  • willing to work with technology and be hands on with the technical elements of the work

  • friendly, outgoing, and comfortable engaging with the public and a range of communities

Experience with teaching and workshop leading, and a clean UK drivers licence are desirable but not essential.
Performers must have the right to work in the UK, as we are unable to act as an employment sponsor.

TO APPLY

To apply please send the following via google form by 31st December:

  • CV

  • Dance footage (max 3 mins - can be a simple at home improvisation)

  • Statement of interest - either written (max 300 words), audio/voice note or video (max 3 mins)

  • If you are available for the listed PREPPERS dates, or only interested in future projects

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to audition in person in London on 14th January.

We will inform applicants whether they are invited to audition by 3rd January at the latest

C&F welcomes applications from a range of backgrounds, identities and communities. We are experienced in working with a range of access needs, so please let us know if there is anything we can do to support your application.

DATES & FEE

PREPPERS Project engagement will be the equivalent of 3 weeks work between 7th Feb and 6th March, with anticipated ongoing touring intermittently until November 2022.

The Dance WE Made and Future Projects will take place throughout the year and beyond
