Description

Whim W’Him dancers, under the artistic direction of Olivier Wevers, seek choreographers to create new dance works for the company’s 12th “Choreographic Shindig” in 2026. Selected choreographers will be invited to Seattle to create an original dance with Whim W’Him’s 7 professional dancers. Choreographers share 2-3 week residencies, which culminate in 6 public performances of a professional split-bill in Seattle, September 2026. We are committed to maintaining an inclusive work environment and actively embrace a diversity of people, ideas, talents, and experiences. Whim W’Him will prioritize marginalized and underrepresented communities in the selection process. We encourage these choreographers to apply, including but not limited to BIPOC, members of the LGBTQ+, and people with disabilities. The Whim W’Him dancers will be curating the program, being fully involved in the selection process. You will hear back about your application by SEPTEMBER 1, 2025.
