Project Coordinator - Leicestershire, United Kingdom - Nupur Arts Dance Academy

Description

Project Co-ordinator job description:


About us
We are Leicester's largest South Asian dance academy specialising in Bharatanatyam,
Bollywood and Folk dance.

We want people to be inspired by the artistic possibilities of dance movement and be enriched through the power of community and heritage.

In the 35 years we have been operating, we are proud to have developed globally recognised and award-winning artistic talent.

We draw on the dynamism of the youth, and self-expressive power of the British diaspora to make South Asian dance accessible.

We do this in three ways:

• We teach dance to over 200 people ranging from ages 3 through to 55+.
• We entertain live audiences with our showcase performances and touring productions.
• We promote the Performing Arts to hard-to-reach communities with our outreach programmes.

With the support of the Arts Council's National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) fund, we are embarking on a three-year journey to grow our organisation and extend our reach.

We are looking for part-time project co-ordinator to support us with this growth.

• Carnivalstyle folk dance parade through Leicester's City Centre.
• Series of Dance & Arts events leading to an Arts Awards qualification for children.
• Performing Arts skills development programme (in theatre management, spoken word and radio presenting) with our local partners for ages 14+.

The role is primarily based in Leicestershire but with the opportunity for hybrid working.
