English National Ballet is Looking for Dancers aged 17-90 for a New Short Dance Film
English National Ballet is commissioning a brand new short dance film to be screened as part of our 2019 Autumn tour, and we’re looking for dancers to take part.
Directed by Jessica Wright and Morgann Runacre-Temple, the film will be inspired by our upcoming production of Cinderella created by world-renowned choreographer Christopher Wheeldon.
This unique project will bring together a diverse cast featuring community dancers of all ages and backgrounds from across London.
Dancers will encounter life on a professional film set, creating and performing dance for the camera, shot in the spectacular location of the Royal Albert Hall.
We are looking for
- Performers aged between 17 to 90 years (and beyond!)
- All experience levels/abilities are welcome
- All dance styles and disciplines encouraged, including actors who are confident being physical
