1 Share of the choreologist role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the 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 choreologist role treats 9 of its required skills as things a répétiteur already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • create a work environment where performers can develop their potential
  • create choreographic material
  • develop codified movements
  • identify performers' needs
  • intellectual property law
  • labour legislation

What stands in the way is 16 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 14 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A choreologist role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a répétiteur background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held work with broad variety of personalities communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held identify performers' needs communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held create choreographic material communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held stimulate performers' imagination management skills
  • already held create a work environment where performers can develop their potential management skills
  • already held develop codified movements communication, collaboration and creativity

All 14 carried skills, including the 9 the choreologist role treats as required.

Table 3 · What you would need to learn

The 27 missing skills fall into 5 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered below in the order worth working in: the areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the supplementary ones.

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

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.
