We’re recruiting! Shout out for Learning & Participation professionals
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our team. We are looking to recruit a dynamic Learning & Participation Officer to lead, develop and shape our Learning & Participation strand.
Since inception in 2007, Learning & Participation has been an integral part of what we do at Chameleon. We lead classes and workshops in tandem with the national and international touring programme, and as a result, we’ve introduced thousands of people from countries all over the world, to a different side of dance and movement.
From beginners’ creative sessions in schools to advanced level company classes at universities, the Company offers a wide range of dance development opportunities every year.

- Explored dance and movement with over 4000 young people

- Partnered with 42nd Street to develop a dance workshop, which then toured venues and schools across the UK alongside our latest new production Witness
- Work-shopped with patients in a mental health unit at a Derby hospital in partnership with Déda
- Delivered Arts Award to over 20 young dance artists
- Worked in partnership with Dance Manchester to engage young men through dance in our annual project, STRIDE
