Current BLKDOG performers can not only execute physically demanding choreography and complex musicality but can also embody autobiographical references and/or life experiences to give the work a deeper meaning.

Minimum Requirements: Performers must be 18+ If offered a contract, you must be willing to base yourself in or around London for the duration of the rehearsals. Far From The Norm will not cover any logistical costs for the contract. You must have a passport with at least 12 months validity from April 2024. You must be able to submit your passport for visa processing in July 2024 in your country of residence. Some applicants must also hold a valid work permit or visa, depending on the country of residence, to enable them to legally work in the UK for the duration of the engagement. How to apply / register: The application form is made up of 4 sections, and we require all questions to be filled in, in order to consider your application: Written question: a short paragraph telling us about who you are, your recent career highlights and your reason for applying.
