Strategy Development: New Touring Approaches and Fellowship Announcement

This MiniLab is ideal for festival/venue presenters looking to secure new major works that have been supported by the newly created Shaun Parker & Company Choreographic Fellowship. This landmark $100,000 per year fellowship (supported by the Denise and Michael Kellen Foundation in New York) allows a leading guest choreographer to create and present a major new dance work over a three-year period on our nine dancers. Beau Dean Riley Smith (Wiradjuri/Gamillaraay) has been announced as the inaugural recipient of the fellowship, and will create STAIN, a bold new work that investigates the early marks left on this country, with a stunning original score by Paul Mac. Hosted by Shaun Parker and Beau Dean Riley Smith, this discussion will flesh out this new model for creating work, and how we can maximise this outstanding opportunity for our leading choreographers and presenters alike!
