April 23, 2026
We are seeking dynamic, versatile and classically trained ballet dancers for the 2026 season. The company is currently casting for the role of the Unicorn in two versions of our popular children’s show Silly Billy, a playful, high-energy production designed for young audiences. Performers should be strong movers with classical training, excellent stage presence, comedic timing, and a genuine love of performing for children, in venues ranging from tiny gyms to large scale venues.
This is a paid opportunity with performances and touring throughout 2026.
The process entails working with Indigenous artists, learning (or using) hoops. The two versions of the work (French and English) are different and will require the artist to learn two productions.
If you are an expressive, curious and imaginative dancer who enjoys collaborative work and engaging young audiences, we’d love to hear from you!
