> Ascendance Rep seeks new directors/trustees.

Ascendance Rep is a Leeds based contemporary dance company with a reputation for excellence in contemporary dance performance, site-specific work and education projects. The company tours across the UK, producing high quality dance / theatre works from regional, national and international choreographers.

The company has a strong education programme currently including dance classes at Cottingley Cornerstone Centre near Bradford, the Telling Tales arts and heritage project and My Leeds exploring the diverse community of Leeds.

The company is presently planning a residency at Skipton Castle in August 2010, leading to a UK tour of ten castles in 2011.

We are therefore seeking additional members for our board of management to help support the company as it embarks on a crucial next phase of work. We would also like to hear from those who might wish to contribute by acting as observers to the board.

We are particularly seeking people with skills in legal matters, dance, data protection, community health and cultural diversity. Skilled and committed individuals who would like to apply to play a key role in guiding and managing this innovative company should contact:
