Phoenix Dance – Choreographers and Composers Lab
Applications are now open for Phoenix Dance’s Choreographers and Composers lab taking place in July 2019.
Phoenix Dance Theatre will be hosting its second Choreographers and Composers Lab in summer 2019 at its studios in Leeds. Led by our Artistic Director Sharon Watson, the Lab is an opportunity to work collaboratively, innovate, and develop new ways of working in music and dance.
Funded by Jerwood Charitable Foundation with match funding from Leeds Dance Partnership, the Choreographers and Composers Lab 2019 will bring together four choreographers and four composers at a pivotal point in their careers to develop their skills in the art of collaboration and partnership working with artists from a different discipline.
The selected choreographers and composers will participate in an immersive programme over a two-week period, led by renowned dance and music experts in the creative arts sector, with the support of twelve professional dancers and four musicians, who will help to bring their collaborative visions and explorations to life. The focus of the Lab is on the experimentation process and less on the creation of a new work.

The two–week intensive will run:
Week one- Tuesday 2 July to Saturday 6 July 2019
