Abundance: Call Out

Lizzie Klotz (she/her) is seeking 2 female/non-binary dance artists to join the cast of Abundance, a new intergenerational dance work premiering in April 2026.

About the work

Abundance is a new intergenerational dance work performed by a cast of six - three volunteer performers aged 55+ and three professional dancers - with live music by Me Lost Me.

It begins with a pause - a spacious moment of stillness. People move, howl, rest, leap, reverberate and hold one another. Moments emerge and dissolve. Colourful duvets are worn, sculpted, hidden under and danced within.

The work redefines abundance as a sense of having and being enough - and explores themes of connection, time scarcity, authenticity, pleasure, and community.

Who we’re looking for

We are looking for dancers who:

  • are kind, playful and collaborative

  • have a practice rooted in improvisation

  • are interested in vocal work

  • are interested in intergenerational work

  • are interested in the concept of Abundance

Equity, care and representation

We are committed to building a team that reflects a diversity of experiences, identities and perspectives. We particularly welcome applications from Global Majority dancers, who are currently underrepresented in our team.

This project is care-led, and we are working to embed anti-racism practices throughout the work, supported by an anti-racism consultant.
