The Bedfordshire Choreographic Development Project (Dance Beds)

Image for page The Bedfordshire Choreographic Development Project (Dance Beds)

Dance Beds is a collaboration between ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, Bedford Creative Arts and Dance East to create a centre for dance practice in Bedfordshire.

A group of specially commissioned artists will be brought together to explore choreographic creation in the context of engaging hard-to-reach audiences. This includes three emerging artists (Ashley Goosey, Katie Boag and Simon Hoang) and three established partnership artists (Urja Desai Thakore, Rebecca Evans and Julia Cheng).

Dance Beds engages young people and supports both emerging and established dance artists through three strands of activity: a series of commissions, CPD (continuing professional development) and mentoring. We will explore and develop dance activity that reaches gaps in provision for participants, attracts diverse dance artists to the local area, and connects experienced and emerging artists with cultural organisations and the youth dance sector.

For the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, the project is led by Jane Carr with Tamara Ashley and Sadie Hunt.
