Rural Touring Dance Initiative: Call Out For Artists

The National Rural Touring Forum (NRTF) in partnership with The Place, Take Art and China Plate are continuing to support the touring and making of dance for rural areas through a second major award from Arts Council England Strategic Touring program, and a new award from Arts Council Wales.

NRTF are seeking artists to take part in this project. This is an opportunity to tour existing work to rural locations; in addition to guaranteed show fees there are a limited number of bursaries averaging £1200 for artists with existing shows to adapt shows for rural touring. Companies who have toured with the RTDI have averaged 7 supported shows with fees varying from £850 to £1400 depending on scale and cost. There is also a paid for residential workshop exploring touring dance to rural locations to prepare artists for the experience.
