Jamie Winbank is a Canberra based independent dancer and choreographer and has been invited to attend the Commonwealth Youth Dance Festival in Glasgow, Scotland as a member of the QL2 Dance tour party. To make this a viable trip, QL2 have included a dance exchange with Bangkok Dance Academy in Bangkok and a three day stop over in London thus making the tour a 14 day world tour from July 1st to July 14.
Volunteering his time over the past 8 months (along with being a full time dance artist) Jamie has acted as tour manager for the tour. From liaising with dance companies, booking accommodation, arranging flights and scheduling the day to day activities of the 8 dancers and 4 adult members attending the tour Jamie's role has been essential in the success of the tour. During the 14 days of the tour, Jamie will also volunteer his time to assist in rehearsals and choreographic development in Bangkok, assist in a presentation of a "boys in dance" session at the Commonwealth Youth Dance Festival in Glasgow and generally ensure a smooth and successful tour for those attending.

This is a once in a life time opportunity for Jamie personally and professionally. Not only does it provide an opportunity to network with youth dance companies around the world it also provides a unique opportunity for hands on professional development in the project coordination and management role
