Imogen Reeve & Co. are looking for one exceptional performer to join them for the creation and tour of their new show Mother Computer: Folk Dances From The Future.
Where: Leeds, UK
When: 21/07/2026
Deadline for applications: 10/07/2026
Imogen Reeve & Co. are seeking one highly skilled, technically accomplished, and creatively generous female-identifying dancer to join the creation of *Mother Computer: Folk Dances From The Future*, a new dance theatre work exploring how AI invents and reinvents folklore, myth, and cultural memory through a feminist lens. We welcome applications from trans, queer, and gender-expansive women.
Developed collaboratively over recent months, the work sits at the intersection of femininity, futurism, and folklore. Drawing on female folkloric archetypes—including the mermaid, mother, snake, and witch—it examines how historical constructions of womanhood continue to shape contemporary identities and how emerging technologies may reinforce or transform these narratives. Choreographically, the piece reimagines collective folk movement through repetition, fragmentation, and disruption, exploring connection, care, and belonging in digitally mediated worlds.
The successful performer will join an existing trio, learning established material while contributing creatively to the final development of the work. The role requires strong technical ability, theatrical presence, improvisation skills, and an interest in research-led and experimental performance processes. Due to elements of endurance performance, a high level of stamina is essential.
Applicants must be available for specified dates between August–November 2026, able to travel nationally and internationally (including a Berlin residency), and comfortable with shared accommodation during residencies.
All work is paid at Equity rates, with per diems provided where applicable.
Please only apply if you are available for all scheduled project dates. Full rehearsal, performance, and touring dates are outlined below and remain subject to change.
