Every other summer The Place opens its doors and makes its resources available to professional dance artists with a thirst to learn, ideas to pursue and work to try out. Choreodrome is a research and development project where choreographers are invited to research their ideas without the pressure of a formal performance at the end.

Choreodrome is an opportunity for you to...

• Learn new working methods from renowned dance artists
• Undertake choreographic research without the pressure of performance deadlines
• Show work in progress and receive feedback
• Challenge your customary creative process and take risks
• Develop choreographic projects which integrate video and new technology
• Access the studio space and resources you need for your research

Choreodrome is also complemented by Touch Wood - a September season of works in progress danced on the theatre's bare wooden floor.

Choreodrome is an open application project. You can apply from January of the year it occurs in (next opportunity will open in January 2009). Applicants must be based in the UK and working in a contemporary idiom, but otherwise anyone is encouraged, and it's all free: directed research opportunities, studios, equipment and support, all supplied, free of charge.
