This is a great opportunity for someone to develop their producing experience within a busy festival team, working in close partnership with the Senior Producer and a Guest Curator.
Dance Umbrella is looking for an Assistant Producer to join the team on a fixed-term
freelance basis for the 2026 festival cycle. This is a great opportunity for someone to
develop their producing experience within a busy festival team, working in close
partnership with the Senior Producer and a Guest Curator.
A defining feature of this year's role is the Guest Curator strand. Working alongside the
Senior Producer, the AP will play a key role in supporting the day to day delivery of this
bespoke programme, including curator liaison and artist support, alongside broader festival
production responsibilities across October.
We are looking for a confident, calm person who can quickly blend into a busy production
team and help to make the festival happen. You will have experience of production
environments and working with artists, strong organisational skills and a willingness to
switch between the different modes of operation required by a hybrid festival model.
Good interpersonal skills are as important as logistical ones in this role, as the AP will be a
key point of contact for a number of artists and will need to hold those relationships well
through a busy festival period.
This will be a freelance part-time contract, based at Somerset House and working across
London venues. It is preferable that you’re London-based as the role may require extensive
travel across the city.
