Participation Producer, ZoieLogic

We are looking for an enthusiastic Participation Producer to support the development and coordination of this major community engagement project. This is a freelance position (22 days total @ £225 per day), ideal for someone with experience in participatory work, particularly in mass movement settings. The role requires strong community communication skills, a passion for inclusive practice, and ideally, knowledge of the community arts scene in Southampton and beyond.

We value diverse lived experiences and are especially keen to hear from those underrepresented in the arts, including individuals from the global majority, younger voices, and those with experiences of disability, neurodiversity, or other perspectives that challenge barriers and drive innovation.

The Austentatious Ball is not a traditional show; it's a hosted event championing dance for all where inclusivity and active participation are central to its design and execution. Participants will be encouraged to express their best selves through movement, with guidance to interact with one another through facilitated compositions, structured improvisation, and call-and-response moments.

The Austentatious Ball is commissioned by https://www.mayflower.org.uk/ - Mayflower and directed by ZoieLogic as part of the nationwide Austen 250 celebrations, marking the 250th year since Jane Austen was born in Hampshire
