Join forces with New Art Club, Dance4 and touring partners to lead a cast of stunning community performers and help create a show that will have the whole audience up on their feet and wanting to dance.

                  “I felt an ownership of the work and a valued member of the company.”
                                         Jon Beney – Local Dance Artist for Hercules in Doncaster.

Created by and starring the award-winning dancing comedy double act Tom Roden and Pete Shenton of New Art Club, this story of Hercules is told through hilarious dance routine and amazing speciality acts. It’s a modern cabaret for the whole family: a pantomime, a history lesson and a party all rolled into one side-splitting adventure.

At the moment, dance artists are needed for the first five venues of the tour in June and July 2015 – Gulbenkian in Canterbury, Derby Theatre (with Déda),the New Wolsey (with Dance East) in Ipswich, The Grand in Blackpool and the Sadlers Wells Peacock Theatre (with Greenwich Dance) in London.

Dance artists should…

– Live locally to the venue, have experience and confidence at leading choreographic work with a range of ages and abilities, have a genuine desire to work on a major national tour and to work with New Art Club.
– Be available to attend training at The Castle, Wellingborough on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 February 2015 (£150 fee, accommodation and some expenses provided).
– Be available to deliver a minimum of 36 hours of workshops across the six weeks before the production week and be available for all of the production week – six days before the public performance and the performance itself.
– Receive a fee of £1800 inclusive of all travel and expenses for the delivery of the engagement programme.
