Invest, Create, Innovate, Saturday 11 April
A packed day shines light on the life cycle of the creation of a dance work, from artistic idea to touring and also how we invest in the workforce, from dancers pay to how we keep artists healthy and performing at their peak. Sessions also explore choreographic development and career transitioning. The day is divided into three strands that delegates can cross between to create their own personal programme.
The National Dance Network has programmed sessions for venues, presenters, producers, artists and funders, including: how ideas are grown and tested in dance and making it happen - funding, producing, presentation and touring. Dance UK's Healthier Dancer Programme which is part of the National Institute of Dance Medicine and Science is bringing world renowned health and medical experts. The final strand of the day is designed for dancers and choreographers, starting with optional classes led by Kerry Nicholls and Stretchworks, followed by debates about dancers' pay, career transitioning and a panel discussion titled "Why a dramaturg?". From 3:00 to 4:15pm there will be five discussions about specific dance forms including musical theatre, ballet, ballroom, South Asian dance and dance of the African diaspora. The day ends with delegates visiting Greenwich Dance to see a performance of Our Mighty Groove choreographed by Vicki Igbokwe, Artistic Director of Uchenna Dance.
