Project Manager, Dance Umbrella

London, UK

Dance Umbrella is London’s annual international dance festival – 48 years in the making and always moving with the times. Every year, the festival ignites the city with bold, boundary-pushing work from artists who reflect the diversity of our global city and bring world-class work to London for the first time. 

Diversifying Curatorial Stewardship (DCS) is Dance Umbrella’s major multiyear initiative (2026–2028) designed to transform curatorial leadership within the UK and international dance ecology. DCS aims to create structural, longterm change by widening who curates, how curation is practiced, and who has access to networks, resources and influence. 

A brand-new role, the Project Manager is the central producer and coordinator of the DCS programme. This is a highly dynamic, relationship driven role that requires outstanding project management, coordination across multiple partners, cultural sensitivity, a commitment to equitable practice, and excellent attention to detail.
