Morvell Dance is Looking for 3 Female Dancers and 1 Female Apprentice

We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for 3 talented female-identifying dancers, along with 1 exceptional female-identifying apprentice dancer, to take part in the R&D phase of our upcoming production, “The Difference a Year Makes” (TDAYM). Morvell Dance is seeking to hire new dancers outside of their current network.

If you have graduated in 2023 you should apply for the Apprentice role.

TDAYM is poised to be an exciting work that combines dance & digital artistry to delve into the poignant narratives of diverse women from all generations who have undergone a transformation in their lives. Their stories encompass pivotal themes such as societal class dynamics, the evolving cost of living, and the shifting political landscape both within the UK and beyond. Selected performers will embody the roles of these remarkable women, communicating their words verbatim and embracing the opportunity to explore both creative and physical expressions.
