The Place are seeking UK-based dance artists to join Shape It Lab on Wed 29 and Thu 30 Apr 2020
The two day lab for UK based artists focuses on questions that makers could consider when presenting dance to young audiences. The lab will involve conversations with industry experts, interactions with groups of families testing and questioning key areas of interest, and reflecting and exploring your ideas and others.
The lab is part of Shape It, a project which aims to broaden the audience for contemporary dance in Europe. Partners will do this by inviting early career dance makers in Europe to consider how an existing performance can be reconsidered for an audience of young people. Through development labs, residencies and touring, they will support artists to re-imagine the audience for their work.

Shape It is delivered by a partnership of The Place (UK - EDN member), Annantalo (Finland), Comune di Bassano del Grappa (Italy - EDN member) and Tanec Praha (Czech Republic - EDN member) and funded by Creative Europe.
Shape It Lab is for artists who:
