Red Clay Dance Company is excited to request applications for our School of Dance Faculty positions. Our search is for dance educators who combine high skill with innovative execution. Seeking individuals who will support our mission to awaken “glocal” Artivism through creating, performing, and teaching dances of the African Diaspora. We anticipate a like-minded candidate with such contagious passion that it stimulates the artistic and social emotional growth of our aspiring Artivist!
This role is a unique opportunity to join a trendsetting, culturally relevant, socially transforming, elite dance organization in the Chicagoland Area. "We envision an Artivist as one who utilizes their artistic genius to become part of the solution for social change. Creatively using the body and movement as tools to gain personal and collective freedom!" (Founder, Vershawn Sanders-Ward)
The faculty position works within our Education Department’s School of Dance to prepare its graduates to enter rigorous pre-professional dance programs or begin a career in the concert dance field. Our training fortifies technical mastery in Classical West African and African Diasporic Dances, contemporary techniques in artistry and performance, and is supplemented with ballet, modern, and other dance forms.
All program types will require the flexibility to provide instruction in-person and/or via remote learning.
