New Board Members Required

Motionhouse has seen enormous growth over the last 23 years and are established as one of the UK’s most successful touring dance companies. From full length productions for theatre touring, to large scale dance spectacles we create and deliver an extraordinary range of performances, acclaimed for striking use of imagery, theatricality and immediate impact.

The company currently have a number of vacancies to join our Board of Directors and are looking for committed individuals who are able to give the necessary time, energy and dedication to the company through the next stages of our exciting international development. Motionhouse have already a substantial range of skills at the disposal of the company and after recently completing a skills audit of our current Board Members have identified some specific skills they would like to recruit.

The company would be helped by the addition of Strategic Business and Legal experience and skills at Board level, and would especially welcome applications from individuals who can link Motionhouse to international performance and production opportunities, and people with experience in taking artistic productions to wider markets through national and international production, presentation and touring and developing e-commerce opportunities for the company. Ideally, therefore, the company are seeking to attract people with specific experience in these areas and are keen to hear from anyone who can offer these skills and connections.

The company are very open to people whose life experience might yield skills from unexpected sources, and are keen to make further connections, especially in the business and commercial worlds. They are also looking for some people sufficiently senior and networked to help lead their increasing national and international developments.

Motionhouse already have a strong and dynamic board and hope that individuals might be able to help them further build and strengthen this work, either through your own skills or by passing this information on to people you know.

• To attend quarterly Board meetings, usually on a weekday evening, which last approximately 2 -2.5 hours. One meeting per annum includes the company’s AGM and is generally held within working hours in October/November
