We are the national development agency for dance in South East England.

 

South East Dance generates exceptional experiences in dance for all. Artists are our driving force. They inform, shape and lead our work. We engage with inspiring artists to generate exceptional dance experiences for new and existing audiences, participants of all ages and other artists.

 

We are a catalyst for dance. We enable, instigate, initiate and facilitate diverse dance opportunities across the region from world class and groundbreaking live work to accessible participation events which challenge everyone to get dancing.  We want to ensure more people experience bolder and better dance across south east England and beyond.  

 

Aims and Objectives

  • To increase access to dance
  • To increase participation in dance
  • To raise the profile of dance
  • To provide artistic and strategic leadership for dance
  • To encourage learning and workforce development in dance
  • To operate an effective dance organisation

 

Programme Areas

Our work falls under 5 programme areas:

Artist Development Programme: comprising of 4 core strands that aim to meet the development needs and provide a range of support for dance artists at various stages in their careers.

Expanding Platforms & Audiences: providing a place for dance research, incubation and development that in the longer term might generate new and exciting ways of reaching more people through dance.

Building Communities: aiming to broaden the reach of South East Dance and directly increase participation in dance. Building Communities will engage specifically with targeted groups/members of the community.

Raising the Game: advocating for, and developing the infrastructure for dance within and beyond the South East.

Commissions & Presentation: working in partnership to commission and/or present work that we feel to be innovative, risk taking and/or brings new audiences to dance.

 

We are a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee.
