Hamilton, Canada HCA Dance Theatre Full time

**HCA Dance Theatre’s (HCA DT)** mission is to make the art of dance visible, accessible, and inclusive for all. We aim to be an incubator of artistic excellence through collaboration with artists of all genres, as a presenter of dance, and providing performance and educational opportunities. The Arts cultivate the healthy overall development of children and families and enhance the life of a community. At their core, the Arts create an environment that impacts and supports the emotional, physical, and mental wellness of a community. Dance can enrich a community for all ages, as participants and audience members; by being a resource for the development of dance artists at all stages of their careers, from hobby to the highest professional levels; and through commissioning and presenting professional dance performances.

HCA DT is operational within the Hamilton Conservatory for the Arts building, with a 120 years old history. One of our goals is to work on a strong legacy for the future, documenting what has been happening since 1997 onwards. The **Archivist **will work on a digital and physical archive of historical documents and create a publicly accessible archive that documents the history and legacy of HCADT, and the HCA Family of Organizations. Ensuring that the legacy of HCA DT’s involvement in the cultural landscape, and their contribution to the artistic communities of Hamilton are accurately and comprehensively documented, preventing loss of information.
