You & Us (2026 UK Tour)
Seeking: 2 male and/or non-binary contemporary dancers (London-based).
About the work
You & Us is a 60-minute work for five dancers, forming part of a touring triptych alongside an exhibition and short film. The piece explores invisibility - how it shapes connection, holds power and pain, and what it means to be seen, heard, and understood.
Who we’re looking for
-
Dancers with strong musicality, rhythm, and contemporary technique
-
Comfortable with highly physical, devised work, improvisation, and partnering
-
A genuine sense of empathy, kindness, and generosity in the studio
-
Backgrounds in hip hop/breaking/capoeira welcome (not required)
-
Experience performing/touring professional works
-
Must be available for all rehearsals & tour dates
-
Must live or be based in and around London for this contract, due to a restricted travel and accommodation budget for the rehearsal period.
Please note: There is no expectation for dancers to share personal experiences of invisibility for this process, but you of course are welcome too.
