The Chamber Dance Project (CDP) was reestablished in Washington, DC in 2014. CDP brings together outstanding artists to collaborate on new and contemporary works for 2-3 performance seasons a year, at times when many professional ballet companies are on lay-off.

Providing access to underserved communities who have limited opportunities to see live dance and music
Providing meaningful work for professional ballet dancers during their lay-off periods
We are seeking a dynamic and boldly creative leader to drive CDP’s evolution forward.

Collaborate with our Principal Musician on all music-related work
Cultivate collaborative, creative relationships in metro Washington, DC
Cultivate, develop, and grow funding resources to support all endeavors of CDP and its activities
Administer the organization’s budget and resources, in collaboration with the Managing Director, to ensure that they are effectively used to achieve the organization’s goals
Work with the Marketing Director to develop campaigns for seasons and programming
Work with the Managing Director and staff on day-to-day operations
Partner with the Board of Directors to work towards CDP’s mission
Grow our presence locally and nationally, representing CDP to the public, media, patrons, and other stakeholders
Develop further summer performance and touring opportunities regionally and nationally


Desired experience and skills include:

Experience and a commitment to working with live musicians
Substantial experience in running rehearsals in the studio and onstage
