Job Summary
Job Description
The Place is building a cross-organisation research culture which values and supports artists’ and producers’ practice research, underpinning innovation and excellence in dance performance, choreography, audience development and dance health, alongside scholarship. We give artists space and resource to experiment and learn from the ideas that don’t work, as well as those that do. For the most promising ideas, we back them through to production, with residencies in our theatre and support to build partnerships and tours.
To support the transformative potential of artists and producers, we run a series of development programmes, including our annual festival, Resolution, which is the longest running showcase opportunity for early career dance artists in the UK, accompanied by a series of workshops to build the skills and knowledge artists need for a successful portfolio career, and an annual webinar series for professionals.
The Producer: Artist Development & Research will deliver a portfolio of programmes which contribute to these areas, including Choreodrome (our annual residency programme) and our Associate Artist programme, which is currently being redesigned. One of the first tasks in the role will be to work on the final design and implementation of a new Associate Artist programme.
Care and equity underpin our programmes and the Producer: Artist Development & Research plays a key role in ensuring that artists who participate feel well supported whatever their background or experience.
