About the Open Call

Dance Partner Projects is open to dance artists or companies who are based in the North (priority is given to artists based in Yorkshire). The programme aims to provide dance artists/companies at different career stages with an opportunity to research and develop a new or early-stage artistic project. Yorkshire Dance seeks proposals that align with their programme strands: early years, intergenerational co-creation, themes of age and ageing, or work with the LGBTQ+ community. Projects with low environmental impact are particularly encouraged.

What is Offered

£3,000 for match funding or a research residency, up to 3 weeks of studio research time, support from the Artist Development team, and potential opportunities to present work at No Dress Code or the Encounters Festival.

Requirements

Must be a dance artist or company based in the North of England (priority for Yorkshire). Applicants must outline a research/project idea, company background, and provide video links to previous choreographic work.

How to Apply

Applicants must complete and submit the online form provided on the website. Alternatively, applications can be submitted as video or audio recordings via WeTransfer, Google Drive, or Dropbox to tammytsang@yorkshiredance.com.
