Performance Research Bursaries

Falling Wide Performance Research Bursaries offer professional
dance artists an open-ended opportunity to address research needs
in supportive and stimulating environments. Centred around Falling
Wide Projects courses, bursaries offer free participation on
workshops, subsidised or, where possible, free studio space,
access to professional dancers and informal mentoring. In recent
years, research artists have involved other artists by offering
their research within the context of a Falling Wide Intensive as
a free performance research opportunity for professional dancers
by application.

Opportunities to participate in the scheme as a collaborating
dancer are advertised with our courses. Participation as a
Research Artist is by invitation.
