Swindon Dance, enriching lives through dance
The Associate Artist Programme aims to support the next generation of professional dance makers and artists. This programme is for new to mid-career artists and practitioners from any genre or location.
The Associate Artist Programme is suitable for artists who want to find space and time for ‘creative play’ to research and grow their practice without the pressure of producing finished works. Each artist or company will receive a £2,000 bursary, mentoring support and access to the studio’s resources for two years.
Applicants are invited from young to mid-career practitioners. It is hoped that they will go on to become longer-term associates of Swindon Dance.
applications are currently CLOSED.
The next programme starts April 2026
