Australian Dance Theatre is open for auditions

For the first time since his appointment in 2021, Artistic Director Daniel Riley is holding auditions for a new Company Artist to join Australian Dance Theatre’s ensemble of dancers. 

ADT is on the hunt for an extraordinary new dancer to join our ensemble of Company Artists. Aware of the shifts in our sector, we’re looking for artists who are generous, collaborative and take a lateral approach to the creation of dance works.

Australian Dance Theatre prioritises care for all artists, creatives, audiences and community members. We encourage applications from every corner of the community and work to provide a safe space for our artists. Culturally and linguistically diverse, First Nations/Blak, BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ dancers are encouraged to apply.

Auditions will be held in Sydney (Gadigal Country) on 7-8 September and Adelaide (Kaurna Country) on 13- 14 September. They will be led by Artistic Director Daniel Riley, Artistic Associate Brianna Kell, and an ADT Company Artist.

The first day of auditions will be comprised of creative tasks, improvisations and learning repertoire. On the second day, selected artists will be interviewed and work intensively with our artistic team.

Dancers must be available for both days in their selected city.

ADT is looking for experienced dancers to join the company as they head into an exciting period of touring, development, and performance.

They will be accepting applications for dancers with a minimum of two years of professional experience (or equivalent). They’re excited to hear from dance artists that are both emerging and established, who are working independently, with companies or who have a broad, cross-disciplinary practice.

ADT is not accepting applications from international artists. Applicants must be Australian citizens.

Applications close on Friday 16 August. Applications submitted after the closing date or submitted outside of the application portal will not be considered. All applicants will be notified of the outcome of their EOI by Wednesday 21 August.
