A cultural organization is looking for reinforcement in the field of choreography and show/exercise instruction. An interim choreographer and/or instructor is sought for the short term, with an emphasis on the basics of marching: posture, technique, timing, lines, discipline, and moving together as one unit. Simultaneously, a sustainable solution for choreography and instruction is sought for the longer term, starting from 2027.
The organization is open to various forms of collaboration, where creative and artistic qualities (for choreography) and didactic and pedagogical qualities (for instruction) are not necessarily sought in one person. The organization aims for distinctive shows, marches, and parades, setting high standards, seeking innovation, and daring to think outside existing patterns. Music and choreography are inextricably linked and are developed in intensive collaboration with the musical team.
