QL2 Dance Board Member Expressions of Interest 

QL2 Dance is in an exciting period of transition. We are looking to attract new Board members across a variety of roles to support the organisation as it evolves into its next chapter. Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open. We are looking to bring on new board members from May 2025. A register of those interested in being appointed to the Board will be developed and the register will be consulted as and when Board vacancies arise. 

ABOUT QL2 DANCE 

QL2 Dance is a not-for-profit incorporated association for contemporary dance based in Ngunnawal and Ngambri Country/Canberra. 

We are the national centre for youth dance and a contemporary dance hub for the ACT. Our integrated program of productions, projects, and residencies nurtures, supports, and connects young, emerging, and professional artists through the creation of innovative new work. 

We are supported by the ACT Government through artsACT, and are based at Gorman Arts Centre, an ACT Government facility. 

The current Board is made up of volunteers who each bring their unique experience to the role of guiding the strategic direction and governance of QL2 Dance.
