Choreodrome
Every summer we welcome a new cohort of artists to our building for two-week long residencies, to research new ideas or further develop existing projects.
For over 30 years Choreodrome has enabled artists to explore new territories and have access to tailored support. It’s part of our wide range of artist development opportunities designed to nurture talent and facilitate the growth of independent artists’ creativity and sustainability.
Over the years the support and financial investment for artists participating in Choreodrome has varied. From 2026, we offer all Choreodrome artists a package of support which includes a commission (of up to £4,000 depending on the stage of their project), 1-2 weeks of studio time and bespoke support which might be: producing support, feedback and networking and introduction opportunities for new partners.
Choreodrome is why I am where I am! After an initial opportunity to stretch myself, a second go at Choreodrome was the spark that led to my first touring project and the blooming of a career as a full time choreographer. I’ve met some of my favourite people and built a relationship with The Place that has been foundational to so much of my success.
Work Place Artist Jamaal Burkmar, who made Donuts during Choreodrome 2019, which led to extensive national and international touring.
Choreodrome felt like a safe place for me to dig: nothing was expected of the process, of the result, or of myself as a maker. I was given the space to engage in genuine exploration. I was able to investigate a physicality, a process. Beyond the act of researching, Choreodrome has always been an environment for my practice to be refined. And because that had never been a goal, it always turned out as an organic precious consequence.
Léa Tirabasso, critically acclaimed maker who presents her work across the UK and Europe, including successful runs at Edinburgh and Avignon Fringe
