Yorkshire Dance offers residencies to artists and companies throughout the year, with flexible access to the studio, use of equipment, support and feedback. Yorkshire Dance are currently looking for artists to be in residence during Summer 2013 (week commencing 22nd April - 2nd Sept). Yorkshire Dance have partnered up with Yorkshire Sculpture Park to offer you an even better residency experience. As part of your time in residence you can apply to spend a period of your residency at Yorkshire Sculpture Park where you will be able to get inspiration from the beautiful surroundings and overnight accommodation (subject to availability). The Call-out and Application form can now be downloaded. The deadline for all applications is midday on Monday 1st April 2013. Please return by post or email to katherinetate@yorkshiredance.com

Professional Development Opportunities

Yorkshire Dance works to provide a range of ways in which professional dance artists can develop their career skills, both inside and outside the studio.

Support and Advice

Any artist can make an appointment with Kirsty Redhead, our Artist Development and Project Manager, to discuss their artistic career development. To arrange a meeting please call 0113 243 9867 or e-mail kirstyredhead@yorkshiredance.com
