Before joining Anjali, Alex was Head of Learning and Participation at DanceXchange (now FABRIC) and Senior Producer for Critical Mass at Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
The event:
Producing for Artistic Independence: Supporting Disabled Artists to Lead Their Own Work
In this online session, Alex explores how producers can support disabled dance artists to develop and lead their own work. She’ll look at how to turn an artist’s ambition into a project, bring together funding, access support and creative collaborators, and how to sustain the work over time while keeping the artist’s choices at the centre. The session is suitable for producers, dance practitioners and arts organisations who currently (or want to) support disabled artists to develop their own work.
An additional one to one mentoring session is available with Alex for Free after the network (5-6pm). If you are interested in taking up this opportunity please indicate in the comments when you book.
