This is a supportive programme of mentoring, guidance and practical support led by Dance Base and a new mentor for 2023/24. This year we are welcoming dance artist
Solène Weinachter Dance to the role!

“During this year, I would like to support you in finding out what a sustainable practice as a dance artist means - practically, physically, creatively and politically. As well as being challenged and gaining new knowledge, the aim of this year is to support you in discovering/working with what is alive for you (both as an artist and a human) and make that lead your professional choices,” Solène has shared.
