The Dance City Team
SENIOR PRODUCER VACANCY
We are seeking a Senior Producer to join our Artistic Team.
The Senior Producer role is a pivotal role in supporting Dance City’s three cornerstones of Arts, Health and Learning. You will be at the forefront of developing the theatre programme and dance artist support working in partnership with Dance City’s Artistic Director.
Our ambitious business plan sets the tone of the work we would like to be doing to make the deep impact with our communities. We are at once about the North East and the world. We wish to ensure that the foundations and support structures exist for dance artists to make their best work possible, and that this work can be experienced in the North East and further afield. Our communities should be able to experience and participate in fabulous dance opportunities with artists locally, nationally and internationally. When an artist visits us, we want to ensure they feel looked after, so that when they go back to where home is, they take a piece of the North East back in their heart with them.
Dance City has a great team of dedicated and expert dance professionals working across our programmes to deliver great dance experiences. As a team player and relationship builder, you will forge meaningful relationships across Dance City and with key external stakeholders to contribute to the success of Dance City, our artists and the community.
Our mission is to ensure the North East is the best place to dance and experience dance. You’ll work in an organisation where you can see the difference you make every day.
If this sounds like you, we look forward to hearing from you!
