We are looking for:

  • Queer and trans+ or gender non-conforming Black performers of Caribbean heritage
  • We are aware of the different dance scenes and backgrounds people develop their skills within. We welcome performers whose experience and ability has been developed through non-traditional training, as much as those who are professionally trained dancers
  • Being from a Dancehall and/or Vogueing tradition is a plus, and strong improvisation skills and performance experience are essential
