Artists Update

We have recently hosted events in Brighton, Oxford and Kent to update artists about our work. A follow up event is planned for Brighton in December which is open to all artists throughout the region. For more information and to book a place click here.

If you are running a forum yourself and would like South East Dance to come along to talk about our work please contact Anna Jefferson.

Youth consulation tool kit

Last year we consulted with young people across the region about their thoughts and interests in dance. The findings led to the idea of forming Youth Dance Committees, led for young people by young people. The consultation has been included as a case study in the newly launched English National Youth Arts Network (WNYAN) Toolkit.
