Responsibilities include:
• Maintaining the choreography for SIX: The Musical on our National Tour.
• Working closely with the productions’ US-based Associate Choreographer, communicating production notes, collaborating on cast changes, and providing regular clean-ups and rehearsals.
• Maintaining the overall artistic quality of the production by working closely with the US-based creative team, including the Resident Director, Music Director and Production Stage Management team.
• Rehearsing new cast members and holding understudy rehearsals.
