Talent Development North, led by TIN Arts in partnership with Yorkshire Dance and Cheshire Dance, enables disabled dance artists to create exciting new work, gain industry insight, build connections and explore professional pathways within the dance sector.
Talent Development North is part of a wider movement aiming to increase the visibility of disabled dance artists and make the dance sector more inclusive.
This programme sees organisations and artists work together to identify, develop and embed new working practices resulting in better support for professional learning disabled or autistic dance artists to create great art, change perceptions and inspire others.
By 2027 the programme will support the creation of at least 4 new artworks leading to 10 public performances. We expect the quality of the work created will shift the public’s perceptions and attitudes towards disabled dance artists.
At Yorkshire Dance we support at least one disabled artist per year through our Dance Partner Projects programme.
