Artistic Director and Co-CEO

Lucy Guerin Inc is looking for an exceptional choreographer and artistic leader to join us as Artistic Director and Co-CEO – to inherit a company of distinction and lead it forward with their own vision, voice and ambition.

This is a rare and significant opportunity. LGI is one of Australia’s most internationally regarded contemporary dance companies, with a track record of 25 years of bold, experimentally rigorous work, a purpose-built home at WXYZ Studios in North Melbourne and a thriving community of artists at the heart of everything we do. The incoming Artistic Director will find a company in full creative motion – premiering major new work, touring internationally, and deeply invested in the next generation of Australian dance.

Some of the reasons you’ll want to be part of LGI:

• A Co-CEO partnership model — you’ll share executive leadership with our Executive Director, with full creative authority and genuine organisational influence.
• A community of exceptional artists — dancers, choreographers, designers and collaborators — who are deeply connected to LGI and invested in its future.
• A dedicated studio home at WXYZ — one of Melbourne’s most vital hubs for independent dance.
• A talented, committed team who bring deep knowledge and genuine passion to everything they do.
• Strong relationships with national and international presenters, funders and collaborators built over 25 years.
• An organisation held in high regard nationally and internationally, with an impressive 25-year history and which is genuinely excited about its future.
