Applications open for funded Dance UK Choreographers Observerships

At the National Choreographers Conference on 11 May Dance UK announced its new Choreographers Observership Programme, funded by Arts Council England. The programme will provide ten choreographers with awards to observe a choreographer at work in a creative context (over two sessions). A short conversation about that working process will take place between the two choreographers before and after the observership has taken place. The choreographer being observed will receive a small fee of £300 for their time.
