Co-Curator of Movement

Compass Presents (www.compasspresents.com) are recruiting a VOLUNTEER CO-CURATOR OF MOVEMENT to work with an experienced and dynamic team.  The Caligari Experience, taking place in Bristol in March 2014 will be created by Compass Presents in collaboration with Limbic Cinema, one of the UKs foremost live visuals teams, and renowned live scoremakers MINIMA.  The show will be an original and exciting cross of a cinematic and theatrical experience; the atmosphere and narrative of the 1920s silent gothic film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari will be conveyed through large-scale cinema projection, live music, interactive visuals and a strong aspect of circus and movement performance.

You will work with an ensemble of dance/circus performers and will take the lead in choreographing a number of movement sequences of this event.  This person will be able to use a planned storyboard for direction and effectively interpret the brief to successfully choreograph the movement pieces using the capabilities of the performers.  The selected person will collaborate with the already appointed Co-curator of movement to ensure successful execution of the movement and dance aspects of this event.  This is an excellent opportunity for those with an interest in dance/circus and film, for those looking for more experience within these areas, or who would like to pursue a future in movement and choreography. This may be of interest to recent dance, choreography and performance graduates and those pursuing a career in the performing arts, directing or dance.

Ideally you will be:

* Able to choreograph interesting and dynamic movement sequences conveying particular atmospheres, in conjunction with a storyboard of the show.

* Able to commit to a rehearsal schedule of at least 1 four-hour session per week between February and March, with more in the final week before performance (Exact rehearsal schedule TBC)

* Able to commit to an approx. fortnightly programming meeting between Mid-October and the production in March

Compass Presents is a voluntary, not-for-profit social enterprise and none of our team are paid; we are however able to pay expenses and we pride ourselves on looking after our team.
