Sadler’s Wells Young Associates
We understand how important it is to support artists at the beginning of their careers in dance. Our Young Associates programme helps talented dance artists aged 18-24 and 18-30 for d/Deaf and disabled choreographers, giving them a crucial first step into their careers as choreographers.
Across two years artists are given a professional development course tailored to them, as well as the opportunity to present their work as part of our artistic programme.
Young Associates programme is kindly supported by the Mohn Westlake Foundation
