We are seeking 2 people to join our Board in 2024 to work alongside our existing board trustees in supporting The Work Room in its mission to empower artists in making thoughtful and pioneering dance for diverse contexts at home and internationally.

• Committed to working inclusively to ensure our work is accessible and relevant;

The Trustees work collectively and you will be provided a full induction to help you understand the role and responsibilities of being a charity trustee.

The Work Room recognises systemic exclusion within the arts sector and we are striving to put equity and inclusion at the heart of our work. We are working towards an Anti-Racism practice and we want the board to reflect the diversity of our membership.

The Work Room operates a co-chairing approach in which two members are responsible for effectively facilitating and steering the board and governance processes. We are specifically seeking one new trustee who will take on the role of Co-Chair.
