We are looking for three confident and striking dancers, preferably with experience of dancing outdoors or in non-conventional spaces, to take part in a 10-minute looped dance theatre work (repeated 3x per hour) on performance days. A choreographer will work with the dancers to devise the performance, focusing on our theme for the Aquarium of Light installation. Inspired by the ocean, we are working with a local sculptor and community groups to create a lit installation that fills the bandstand area of Scarborough Spa Suncourt. The dancers will perform in lit sculptural costumes and enhance the installation through live performance in and around the installation.
We welcome expressions of interest from professional dancers of all backgrounds, although you must be over 18 yrs and willing to adapt and respond to the unpredictable conditions that outdoor performance may present. We are seeking expressive performers who are able to work independently, once the work has been devised. There is the scope for one of the dancers to take on the role of ‘dance captain’ once the work is produced.

Rehearsals will take place during the last week of October (specific dates & venue to be confirmed) over two days in Scarborough.
