Shared Ground
English National Ballet’s artist support scheme
A new initiative led by ENB’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 an annual themed ChoreoLab, 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
