The opportunity

Wimbledon College of Arts, part of University of the Arts London, has an exciting opportunity for an experienced practitioner to help shape the future of performance education as a Movement and Intimacy Coordinator.

This is not just a teaching role, it is a chance to pioneer vital approaches to movement and intimacy training, equipping the next generation of actors and performers with the creative, technical and professional skills they need to thrive in today’s industry.

You’ll join our BA Acting and Performance course, part of our Theatre, Screen & Performance Arts programme, which is dedicated to developing artistic practice, driving contemporary culture, and enabling students to become creative, confident, and articulate storytellers.

In this role, you’ll lead the coordination, delivery and continual development of movement and intimacy training, teaching physical techniques such as dance, stage combat and body awareness. You’ll also choreograph and safely stage intimate scenes, while remaining mindful of the physical and emotional wellbeing of our students.

Working in close collaboration with directors and faculty, you’ll play a vital part in rehearsals and productions, ensuring best practice through risk assessments, safety compliance and alignment with professional industry standards.
