Shaun Parker & Company – Board Director (Volunteer position)

Expressions of Interest – including candidates interested in serving as Chair Shaun Parker & Company

Shaun Parker & Company is seeking expressions of interest from individuals interested in joining our Board of Directors, with a particular welcome to those who may also be interested in serving as Chair.

Following many years of dedicated service, our long-standing Chair is stepping down. Their leadership helped guide the company through a significant period of artistic development and international touring, including during the challenges of the pandemic. As the company enters an exciting new creative phase — developing and launching new works — we are seeking additional board members to help support this momentum and contribute to the organisation’s next chapter.

 

About Shaun Parker & Company            

Founded in 2010, Shaun Parker & Company is a Sydney-based contemporary dance company known for its visually striking dance-theatre works that combine powerful physical performance with compelling social themes. The company has toured extensively across Australia and to 25 countries internationally, presenting work at major theatres and festivals across Europe, Asia and the United Kingdom.

Alongside its stage productions, the company delivers community and youth engagement programs that bring contemporary dance to diverse audiences across Sydney, Western Sydney and Regional NSW.  SP&Co also delivers mentorship programs and First Nations dance engagement supported by our First Nations Cultural Advisor Tammi Gissell.

 

The Roles

Board Directors join a collaborative and engaged company committed to supporting the organisation’s artistic vision, governance and long-term sustainability.

The Board would particularly welcome expressions of interest from individuals with governance experience who may wish to be considered for a leadership role as Chair. This role may be well suited to someone with experience in the arts or cultural sector who is ready to step into their first Chair position with the support of an engaged board.

These are volunteer roles suited to individuals who are passionate about the arts and interested in contributing their skills to an innovative Australian dance company with an international profile.

Skills and Experience:  We welcome applicants with experience in areas such as:

• governance and board leadership
• finance, legal or risk management
• philanthropy and fundraising
• arts management or cultural policy
• marketing, communications or partnerships
• arts education
• digital or technology

Prior board experience is welcomed but not essential.

 

Board Commitments:  Board Director terms are for three years, renewable every three years. Board members are expected to attend 6–7 board meetings each year, attend performances and networking events, advocate for the company, and support fundraising and strategic development.

This is an opportunity to contribute to the future of a distinctive Australian contemporary dance company as it enters a dynamic new chapter of artistic activity.
