Gretna born Dance Artist Emma Jayne Park and her team at Cultured Mongrel are invested in developing a thriving contemporary dance sector across Dumfries and Galloway. We believe this could bring together the brilliant activity that already happens across the region and create further opportunities to promote the region as a home for dance.
We are interested in promoting the brilliant classes that already take place, creating opportunities for local artists to enhance their network and bringing professional touring companies to the region on a regular basis.
Dumfries and Galloway has some great facilities, inspirational outdoor spaces and offers a standard of living that creates the optimum conditions for dance makers to work amongst a community of artists across many forms.
With it’s unique geography and needs, it is essential that the work we do is shaped by the community and for the community, so please join us to share your thoughts, ideas and experience.
NB: This session will be held twice, to enable as many people as possible to participate:
Thursday 6. August, 10.30-12.00
Monday 17. August, 17.30-19.00
