Day-to-day operating brief

What Choreographer work looks like in practice

A Choreographer creates and teaches movement for stage, screen, events or participatory productions. The role requires creative authorship while working with performers' abilities, consent, physical safety, rehearsal time and the director's overall concept. Terms should identify the production and deliverables, rehearsal schedule, assistant support, auditions if included, music and recordings, movement notation, understudies, adaptation authority, safeguarding, intellectual property, credits, publicity and any future revival or reuse arrangements.

Responsibilities reflected in the contract

Develop choreography from the approved brief.
Teach rehearse and refine movement with performers.
Adapt material for casting space and safety.
Coordinate director music costume and technical needs.
Document versions credits and agreed handover.

A realistic working scenario

A production asks for a more hazardous lift after the movement has been set. The choreographer reassesses performers, training and support and seeks technical approval rather than adding risk to meet a visual note.

production-specific movement material
prepared supported performers
documented choreography and revisions

Records and evidence

Brief concept music and movement version.
Rehearsal attendance note and adaptation.
Consent safety incident and approval.
Recording notation credit and reuse instruction.
Work records.
Handover notes.

Allocate and review assigned work within delegated authority and escalate formal people matters through the Employer's procedures.
