Sydney Dance Company INDance Expressions of Interest are now open!

After a sell-out inaugural season INDance is back for its second year in 2023!

INDance is a unique opportunity for the independent dance sector to have works professionally presented at Sydney Dance Company’s new Neilson Studio. A curated season of diverse dance works, this program aims to connect exceptional, small to medium-scale dance works with new audiences.

This is a paid opportunity designed for independent dance makers, artists, choreographers or small organisations at any career stage to present their work and is open to all dance styles!

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 paid 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.

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

Sydney Dance Company encourages Expressions of Interest from those of culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, First Nations Artists, people living or working in Western Sydney and people with a disability.

“It is rare that independent choreographers get to share their work beyond the premiere season and away from their home town. It was a joy to have this experience.” Lillian Steiner, Choreographer/ Performer INDance 2022.

Expressions of Interest close at 5pm on 10 January 2023. Artists will be informed by the end of February 2023. INDance will be held over two weekends from 17 – 26 August 2023.
