Connect

---

Dance Makers Collective’s Connect program is a 4-day intensive for early career artists and new graduates, designed to help them transition into the professional dance sector. Through classes and workshops in contemporary dance, self-producing, independent career management, improvisation and composition, artists will gain first-hand professional training, learn vital job-ready skills, and build valuable networks and support as they embark on a career in dance.

To ensure the best possible experience, Connect has a limited capacity of 22 participants – when we reach capacity, the program will be closed to registrations.

The program is facilitated by practicing NSW-based artists and producers.  In order to cater the concluding panel session to the needs of the participants, applicants are asked to pose questions to us that will best serve their interests and needs at this time. This year we will be having an ‘overseas opportunities’ specific panel as well as our industry panel conversation.

DMC will also facilitate two evenings of lo-fi showings of works in progress for participants to share their work with peers and local Sydney artists.

Artist facilitators, workshop leaders and panel members in the 2024 program include Rhiannon Newton, Sophia Ndaba, Emma Riches, and many more, with DMC members Jana Castillo, Mitchell Christie, Carl Sciberras, and Eliza Cooper.

Full schedule will be announced soon!
