Our Artist Development Scheme is an initiative driven by the core value of true inclusivity. It is designed to address the needs of under-represented artists by providing tailored support in various aspects of dance creation. We offer artists the essential resources of space, time, guidance, and sharing opportunities. This project is funded by Arts Council England through Marina Studios Foundation and delivered by DanceHub.
This project finished in July 2024.
Words used by the artists to describe their experience on this project:
“Rewarding, fulfilling, educational, supportive, collaborative, inspiring, creative and incredible!”
