We’re Hiring an Executive Director

Young Lungs Dance Exchange is a not-for-profit artist-run organization committed to the research and development, creation, and presentation of contemporary dance and performance on Treaty 1 Territory, Winnipeg, MB. 

Our range of projects are aimed at dancers, makers, thinkers of dance, and anyone contributing to their physical understanding of self and the world around them. We believe that physical expression is a political act that requires support and community interaction. We therefore are committed to nurturing the beginnings of the creative process when artists are most engaged in experimentation, research, building new ideas and discovering new collaborations. 

We are looking for an Executive Director to lead our organization in supporting the evolution of dance in Manitoba. The ideal candidate will share with us a love for dance and the belief that dance should hold a vital and valued place in society. As well, they will have an excitement for creative visioning, and the drive and experience to steer this organization.
