Theatre Dance Lab is an artist development programme for early-career musical theatre choreographers. Now in its second year, it is a paid residency that will give two choreographers the chance to develop their practice through studio time, coaching, and access to world-class dancers. The selected choreographers will also be commissioned to create a brand new programme of work to be showcased at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.
Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre will offer each successful choreographer:
- A £3,000 commissioning fee to develop a new programme of work with a cohort of professional dancers.
- Six hours of coaching/mentoring with Regent Park Open Air Theatre’s Artistic Director, Drew McOnie
- Three coaching/mentoring sessions with industry-leading choreographers
- Three hours of coaching/mentoring from the theatre’s producing team and other colleagues.
- Free rehearsal space and office resources for both prep and creation.
- Budget to see relevant work at other performance venues, as well as attend symposiums, conferences and networking events.
- A daytime sharing on our main stage, showcasing each choreographer’s work to public audiences as well as selected industry colleagues who will add value to each artist’s professional career development
