Shared Ground
An initiative led by English National Ballet’s Engagement team, to give east London based independent dance artists and creatives an inspiring space at Mulryan Centre for Dance to explore and enrich their creative practice. We offer a themed Ideas Incubator, networking opportunities, and a Space Scheme which is free of charge to dancers and choreographers, as part of our ongoing commitment to nurturing creative professional development in our community.
Shared Ground: Space Scheme
This scheme offers independent dance artists the freedom to develop their artistic practice at Mulryan Centre for Dance, without expectations of a return. Applications are open to choreographers or dance artists from any dance background, who are resident in East London or who can demonstrate that the majority of their work is based in East London.
Studio space is offered for 5 days to dancers/choreographers with 5+ years’ experience and for 3 days to early career artists via an application process.
Applications for the next cohort of Shared Ground: Space Scheme are now closed.
