Job Summary
Job Description
The Monocle, the highly-acclaimed, stylish contemporary dance and music production created by award-winning choreographer Mathieu Geffr , founder and Artistic Director of Rendez-Vous Dance. The Monocle…where nothing is impossible…reveals and celebrates the long-forgotten pioneering history of Le Monocle, the legendary 1930s Paris nightclub where glamorous lesbians dined, danced, sang and socialised without fear of persecution within its plush, secret walls.

Rendez-Vous dance’s vision and mission carry essential values of inclusivity; therefore we actively encourage applications from individuals who self-identify as black, Asian, ethnically diverse, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer non-binary, neurodiverse or disabled.
