Shobana Jeyasingh Dance is recruiting for a Early Career Dance Artist (Window into the Tempest)

Window into the Tempest is the national engagement programme running alongside SJD’s 2025–26 touring production We Caliban.

This is a paid opportunity for an early career dance artist to gain experience in workshop delivery, co-creation, and engagement practice. You will co-deliver sessions with an experienced Lead Dance Artist and be supported by SJD’s Engagement Associate throughout the process. This is both a learning and leadership opportunity — ideal for someone with some dance experience in community or education settings who is ready to grow their voice and confidence as a facilitator.
