Practitioners will work with Swindon Dance on educational and community projects engaging with specific target audiences to reignite their passion to see live professional dance performances.
Each project must have outreach s an integral part of its work alongside the creation of a new work or completion of a developing work for live performance.
Each project will run on an individual basis with its own set of goals and timeline in collaboration with Swindon Dance, and will receive an individual support package that will be agreed during the planning stage. It is expected that the artist will also bring their own level of support to the project.
 
The offer

• a small bursary/commission,

• mentoring support,

• free use of our dance studios for rehearsals/creative development,

• marketing and communications of project and performance event, plus

• a performance fee for the live performance section of the project.

The live performance element may be informal, a group sharing, site specific, outdoors, part of an event or festival rather than in a traditional theatre setting.

We aim to work with a diverse range of styles for targeted audience groups and welcome practitioners from any genre, covering new, fresh and exciting ideas and for a range of targeted audiences.

Artists on this programme and who later go on tour with this work are required to promote

Swindon Dance on all publicity relating to the finished piece.
