The Danish Dance Theater (Dansk Danseteater), under the artistic direction of Marina Mascarel, is looking for dancers to join our ensemble. We are a company of 12 dancers of various ages and backgrounds, each of whom plays an important role in our creative processes. Dance artists and other creatives collaborate with our ensemble for extended periods, fostering a deep collaboration and innovative environment with the entire DDT team. We usually have about two all-night productions per season, with variations depending on collaborations with other institutions.
what are we looking for
We are looking for dancers who thrive under the guidance of diverse choreographers and enjoy engaging deeply with diverse practices without preconceived expectations.
Ideal candidates will:
• Embrace a sense of belonging to the group and demonstrate full respect for all colleagues.
• Demonstrate strong improvisational skills and be able to explore the body’s full range of capabilities.
• Be team players who are patient, supportive and bring positive energy to the studio • Possess a solid technical foundation (all techniques welcome) and confidently express their unique qualities and quirks.
• Value collaboration and creativity, adding positively to ensemble dynamics.
We train every morning in a variety of techniques or practices including ballet, contemporary, floor work, yoga, martial arts, urban styles, improv techniques and more. If you are only interested in one technique, only see yourself as a soloist, or have no curiosity to explore new forms, this may not be the opportunity for you.
At Danish Dance Theatre, no choreographer works alone; dancers are an integral part of the creative team. We value a positive work environment and are looking for dancers who share this spirit. Dancers in DDT are not only performers, but also teachers and creators.
