After more than 20 years in association with Tasdance, including 18 in the role of Artistic Director, Annie Greig is
departing Tasdance, and the search is on for a new artistic leader for this vital role.
Expressions of interest are now open, with the closing date of 15 June 2015.
An exciting opportunity, the Artistic Director takes a lead role in the development of the artistic program, selection of
repertoire and guest choreographers, and the recruitment, leadership and professional development of dancers for
the company.
Prospective applicants need to have demonstrated experience in program development, great networking skills and
management skills.
This role will be an exciting prospect for anyone looking to make their mark in the industry, on a local and national
scale. The Artistic Director will work with a small but dedicated team, including a newly appointed General Manager,
to fulfil the 2016 program, and create the 2017 program and beyond.
“I have loved being able to create diverse and exciting programs, nurture emerging dancers and choreographers, take a professional approach into the educational sphere and initiate and establish stimulating collaborations in my time
at Tasdance. Whilst part of me is sad to leave such a vibrant company, it is thrilling to think of a renewal for this
flagship organisation under a new person,” said Annie Greig
Tasdance Chair, Norm Mcilfatrick said, “It has been a privilege to work with Annie Greig, who will hand over the
Company in great shape to a new Artistic Director later this year. Annie has been an inspirational leader in Australian
contemporary dance, establishing Tasdance as the benchmark for Australian regional arts organisations.”
