Marc Brew Company is seeking a male-presenting performer who uses a wheelchair for the creation of a new work for young audiences. 

Boys Don’t Dance (working title) by disabled artist Marc Brew, draws on his lived experience as the only boy in the village who wanted to dance, but who was always told boys don’t dance.

a performer who uses a wheelchair
contemporary and improvisation dance experience
