Setting up a dance company

Many thanks to Liz Clark and Chris Moore - both based in Leicestershire - for sharing their experiences of setting up a new dance company at our seminar at Curve on 8 December.

Liz has co-created 'Turned on its Head' which has a new interactive approach to work for and with under 5s and their parents. http://lizclark.net.

Chris has set up a mid-scale touring ballet company of 14 dancers which has 70 odd touring dates in the UK this year. http://ballettheatre-uk.com

Their approaches to research and development of their 'products', raising & managing finances, pitching to venues were really interesting.
