Introducing the Outdoor Dance Festival Bursary Holders

Midlands based independent dance artists and producers joining FABRIC, Déda, and OutdoorArtsUK at Derby Festé.

In August we offered bursaries for Midlands based independent dance artists and producers with an interest in touring outdoor dance to join in our programme designed with Déda and OutdoorArtsUK.

Following our call out, we are happy to share that Annalise Cowan, Christopher Radford, Courtney Beadle, Jamaal O’Driscoll, Lucy Knight, Martha Harrison, Pete Shenton, Sara Macqueen, and Veniece Patel will take part in our programme at Derby Festé on Saturday 23 September.

The bursary holders will attend a networking breakfast, learn more about touring outdoor dance internationally in a dedicated session with OutdoorArtsUK, and follow a recommended route of live outdoor works.
