INDance Expressions of Interest for 2024 are now open

After such a successful season just last month, INDance is back for its third year in 2024!

INDance is a unique opportunity for the independent dance sector to have works professionally presented by Sydney Dance Company in the Neilson Studio. INDance is a curated season of diverse dance works and has been created to connect exceptional, small to medium-scale dance works with Sydney Dance Company audiences

If you are an independent dance maker, artist, choreographer or small organisation at any career stage with a dance work ready to go and you need a venue to present your work, then INDance might be just right for you.

This professional opportunity is open to individuals, collectives and producer-represented choreographers. You will bring the work and its associated costumes/sets, music and performers. Sydney Dance Company will bring the venue and associated production support, marketing, publicity and ticketing as well as paying you a presentation fee. Up to four works will be programmed across a two-week season with each work having the opportunity for a short (3 performances) presentation run.

“Presenting my work in a well-equipped and state-of-the-art studio in a central city location under the brand of the country’s largest contemporary dance company was one of the milestone events in my artistic career.” — Ryuichi Fujimura, 2023 INDance Artist

INDance is open to all dance styles, and is curated by an expert industry panel, including Sydney Dance Company Artistic Director Rafael Bonachela and representatives from the independent dance sector.

Expressions of Interest from those of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, First Nations Artists, people living or working in Western Sydney, regional or rural areas, and people with a disability are encouraged.

The selected Artists will be paid a presentation fee. Sydney Dance Company will cover the costs of marketing, ticketing, technical support and venue costs and will take the box office risk. If you need additional support to realise the work, ie: you need to bring artists from outside Sydney or your work needs a re-rehearsal period, you may need to apply for other funding support. INDance is a presentation opportunity and is not a development residency.

If you are interested in applying, simply complete an Expression of Interest form, and Sydney Dance Company will be in touch. EOI close at 5 pm on 6 November. All artists will be notified 15 December. The 2024 INDance season will be held in the Neilson Studio at Sydney Dance Company 15-24 August 2024.
