Autumn 2020 will see some changes in Dance4's senior team.

Our Executive Director, Rachel Emmett, is stepping down after 28 years. We wish her every success and thank her for her tireless commitment and leadership since our very early days. We're delighted to announce Emma Hayes, currently General Manager at People Dancing, will take up the role in October.

Our Programme Director, Hannah Sharpe, is on maternity leave and her role will be covered in part by Lucie Mirkova, in partnership with DanceXchange where she is Head of Artistic Programmes.

We will be making an announcement shortly about our Artist Leader role. This temporary position will form part of our senior team from September to February, contributing to our research into artist leadership and our desire to address the imbalance of power of the independent artist in decision making within Dance4.

We're delighted to announce the fifth issue of our freesheet 4WORDS is now available to read both online and in print.

This issue brings together a collection of voices from choreographers, photographers and participants. Sharing reflections from the last decade, they demonstrate how the power of collaboration and creativity can be used to provoke and quietly shift the perpectives of people, places and dance.

This online Sunday Supplement will be hosted by Mark Bleakley and will explore the outcomes from the remote participatory project, A Body Under Pressure. Join us to reflect on humans’ relationships to the material world and to hear about the physical experience of being part of Mark’s work.

To attend the online Sunday Supplement is FREE but a place must be reserved using the link below.
