YOU’VE TRAINED IN DANCE. WHAT COMES NEXT?
Building a Sustainable Career in Dance
You've trained to dance. But what about everything else?
Do you know what insurance you need to work freelance? What about DBS checks, safeguarding and First Aid? How do you find paid opportunities, apply for funding or build a career that provides a sustainable income?
There's a lot more to making a living in dance than what happens in the studio.
Designed for recent graduates, emerging dance professionals and anyone looking to develop a career in dance, this practical CPD day will help you understand the realities of working in the industry and take your next steps with greater confidence.
Led by experienced dance artists and industry professionals, the day explores the essentials of freelance working, teaching in different settings, career pathways, professional presence, wellbeing, funding, collaboration and networking.
You'll hear from Katie Purcell and Sarah Fletcher, Helen Ganberg, Adrienne Hart of Neon Dance and Richard Chappell, with additional guidance from Swindon Dance alumna Charley Logan through her New Teachers Roadmap.
There will also be opportunities to meet and connect with other participants throughout the day.
