Chair of Shaper/Caper
We are recruiting for a Chair of Shaper/Caper’s Board of Trustees.
As the new Chair of Shaper/Caper, you will have the experience and commitment to lead the Board as we build on the success of recent productions such as Small Town Boys, develop our organisation by securing multi-year funding, and set the strategic direction of the charity.
You will share our passion for dance and Dundee. In your role as champion and advocate for our work, you will be an excellent communicator and have experience building relationships with multiple stakeholders whilst articulating our values, relevance, maintaining and promoting our reputation.
You will play an essential part in creating the environment for our organisation to flourish. This will mean that your leadership of the Board both in meetings and otherwise will set the tone of our communication and support the delivery of our work.
Our work has three connected strands: artistic creation, creative experiences, and professional pathways.
We run creative programmes, workshops and performances that are inclusive and accessible. We nurture talent and provide opportunities for people to develop their creative practice and skills. We create high- quality productions that tour throughout Scotland and the UK.
Our work is inspired by stories and ideas from the people and communities we work with in Dundee and beyond.
