Podcast Host

Making Space is Candoco’s new podcast series: artist-led conversations about disability and dance. It is a space for honest, sometimes uncomfortable, always generative conversations about what dance is, who gets to make it and what needs to change.

We are looking for a host who is an artistic collaborator, not just a hired presenter. Someone who is curious, a generous listener and genuinely interested in the conversations that need to be had.

The host will work closely with the Candoco Fellow and Lead: Access and Equity throughout, collaborating on content development, approaching and selecting artists, and shaping the questions and themes that drive each conversation.

Each series runs to five episodes. Within each episode, the host will bring together two artists around a shared theme, building a journalistic arc across the series. We are commissioning two series, due to launch in Autumn 2026.

We are open to applications from artists proposing a co-host arrangement, with a final episode in each series where both hosts reflect on the conversations held. The budget allocation we have remains the same and would be split between hosts.

Thank you for your interest in joining Candoco!
