We are looking for a Dance Artist to collaborate with Dance Limerick and
be the creative driving force of Square Roots
.
This will suit someone who brings genuine vision to this work, who can hold a creative thread across a complex and varied project and who is as comfortable in a community hall as they are in our performance space.
Square Roots
, funded by the Community Safety Fund from the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, recognises dance as a vital force that brings people together and encourages a sense of place and belonging in and around John's Square in Limerick.
Its purpose is immediate and long-term.
We want the people who live nearby, who walk through each day, who use the square as a shortcut, a pause or a visit, to feel that this is a place of belonging.
Dance Limerick believes that the arts have a responsibility to respond to the world as it is, not as we might wish it to be.
We know that for many people, particularly those from communities who experience racism, marginalisation or exclusion, the feeling of safety in a public space is not a given.
Square Roots exists in that reality.
We are looking for people who understand this, who take it seriously, and who bring
genuine commitment to creating spaces where everyone belongs
.
This role is fundamentally about building relationships through dance with the people and organisations who share this part of the city, in the form of workshops, public performances, community events and gatherings in and around the square.
A dedicated Project Producer will support you with producing the project, admin, scheduling and logistics.
The role is offered on a
part-time basis of 2 days per week
, based on a 39-hour week for 18 months.
The salary is €33,000 pro rata.
This role is based at Dance Limerick, John's Square, Limerick City.
The postholder will be required on-site in the context of the project.
The role may require off site engagements in line with outreach and development activities.
Candidates are invited to submit their
applications by email to Company and Operations Manager Catherine Ireton at ****** before Monday 11 May ****, 5 pm GMT
