by Annette Carmichael

Ausdance WA is pleased to announce the commencement of its Regional Contemporary Dance Professional Development Fund. This fund is open to dancers, teachers and choreographers living in regional Western Australia aged over 18 years wishing to enhance their skills in contemporary dance. A total of $11,250 is available for 2010 to support activity such as:

  • Travel and accommodation costs and registration fees to attend workshops, conferences or festivals specifically focused on contemporary dance
  • The cost of attending contemporary dance performances outside of your region
  • The cost of engaging regional dance artists in projects delivered by professional dance companies where the activity offers a development outcome to the regional artist.

There is no deadline for the fund and applicants are advised of the outcome of their application within 21 days of its receipt.

To receive further information and an application form email Annette Carmichael, regional.wa@ausdance.org.au or call 0400 618 293 (Thurs & Fri).

This fund has been supported by the State Government’s investment in Future Moves, a strategic initiative to develop and vitalise contemporary dance in Western Australia.
