1 Share of the choreographer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the dance répétiteur profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A choreographer role treats 24 of its required skills as things a dance répétiteur already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • create a work environment where performers can develop their potential
  • create choreographic material
  • create new fight sequences
  • describe artistic experience
  • develop an artistic framework
  • develop codified movements

What stands in the way is 9 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 31 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A choreographer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a dance répétiteur background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held rehearse artist fly movements management skills
  • already held train artists in flying communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held understand the physical language of a live performance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held create new fight sequences communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held understand the conceptual dimension of a live performance communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held work with broad variety of personalities communication, collaboration and creativity

All 31 carried skills, including the 24 the choreographer role treats as required.

Each entry opens a course search for that skill. Career Overlap earns nothing from these links.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
