Norrdans

We are seeking a Dance Director

Norrdans is a dance company based in Härnösand with the world as its stage. We produce and present contemporary dance and choreography for people in northern Sweden and far beyond. We tour nationally and internationally, performing on stages in Rome as well as in schools in Sollefteå.

We are now looking for someone who wants to lead, shape, and deepen Norrdans’ artistic expression into the future.

About the position

As Dance Director, you hold the overall artistic responsibility for Norrdans. You lead the artistic work and also have the opportunity to create choreography or otherwise practice your own artistic expression. You drive the development of Norrdans’ artistic vision in close collaboration with the company’s dancers, production teams, and technical staff, leading the operations with curiosity, courage, and integrity.

You are part of the management team within Scenkonst Västernorrland and contribute to the company’s overall artistic and strategic work. You safeguard the legacy while moving forward—towards new collaborations, new expressions, and new encounters with audiences.

Who are you?

You are a choreographer or artistic leader with a strong artistic vision and a genuine love for dance as an art form. You have experience working in leadership roles within the performing arts, preferably with international collaborations and touring activity. You possess a strong and established network within contemporary dance both in Sweden and abroad. You are confident in your leadership and value working in dialogue—with dancers, technicians, producers, and the surrounding community. You build trust, inspire participation, and are a clear, attentive, and inclusive leader.

You have a good understanding of how artistic and organizational processes interact, and you enjoy shifting between the artistic environment and the strategic level. You express yourself well in English and in one of the Scandinavian languages.

We offer

A unique assignment in northern Sweden—where proximity to nature meets an international outlook. With us, you will work in a dedicated team where artistic freedom and collaboration are central values.

The position is a four-year appointment, with the possibility of extension.
Employment rate: 100%
Location: Härnösand
Start date: 1 August 2026 or as agreed.
Salary: Monthly salary according to agreement.
