ABOUT THE PLACE
The Place exists to develop, nurture and celebrate dance ideas and experiences for all. Watch and enjoy dance in our theatre, on tour or online, study dance with some 250 of the most diverse and extraordinary dance artists at London Contemporary Dance School or with other young people in our Centre for Advanced Training. Join like-minded artists to develop your ideas, take a dance class whether you are 6 or 60, work with us to bring more dance to your school or community group or connect with us through any other way that is relevant to you.
We are committed to powering your imagination through dance. Supported by a culture of innovation, risk-taking & collaboration we strive to create extraordinary experiences with and for you.
JOB OVERVIEW
A core member of the Public Programmes team, the Producer: Artist Development & Research works closely with the Artistic Director, Head of Programming & Producing, and Assistant Producer to plan and deliver programmes which support artist and producer career development and research.
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.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
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.
