Overture
We are looking for 14 dance artists, who use a variety of styles and have been working in community or educational settings for less than five years. We hope to find a group of artists whose work spans both urban and rural settings and who represent the diversity of contemporary England.
Over the course of six months, the selected artists will meet for two residential weekends at the Company’s base at Farnham Maltings, Surrey, connect for digital sessions, and visit New Adventures on tour with The Red Shoes. Each weekend will comprise practical workshops and skills-sharing as well as inspirational guest speakers from within the sector sharing their practice and expertise.
The workshops will progress personal development including values, goals, barriers and confidence alongside professional development in areas such as advanced teaching, communication and community dance. Business and organisational development and networking aim to provide the cohort with a range of skills to support them to the next level of their careers.
Travel expenses, accommodation and per diems are also provided for in-person weekends.
