Hackney

English National Ballet was founded in 1950 by the great dancers Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin, with a pioneering ambition to take ballet beyond the opera houses and around the country. We strive for a world where ballet has no barriers and everyone can be moved by the power of dance, and our mission is to open up the possibilities of ballet, to move more people in more ways. Our significant and influential contribution to Britain’s cultural sector is demonstrated by our strong and diverse audiences, regular recognition from key industry awards, and the elite talent that we attract.

THE ROLE

With a fabulous state of the art new building on City Island, with an excellent company of dancers, musicians, technicians and craft specialists, with a very sound financial position, we are well placed for an exciting next chapter in our history. 

We are now looking to appoint two new Trustees who will also join our Development Committee. Ensuring ENB continues to nurture and grow its supporters is key to our future success and we are looking for committed individuals who will bring the skills and experience to contribute to the future direction of ENB and who will also be comfortable playing an active role in the development of our philanthropic support and corporate partnerships, connecting with our current donor base and helping to introduce us to new networks.

Working with Trustee colleagues and our talented Executive Team, this is an opportunity to be an integral part of one of the world’s leading ballet companies and one of the UK’s most dynamic, ambitious, hard-working and forward thinking arts organisations as we embark on a new chapter.
