CHOREOGRAPHING A FUTURE TOGETHER
Sydney Choreographic Centre partners with RAD Australia
|
Sydney Choreographic Centre is thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Royal Academy of Dance in 2022 which will see our two organisations work together to nurture the artistic voice of young Australian dancers.
Through a range of initiatives such as SCC's Mentorship Program for Dancers, RAD Australia and Sydney Choreographic Centre will inspire, educate and provide opportunities for dancers to explore the skills required for choreography whilst experiencing life behind the scenes of a professional dance company. Sydney Choreographic Centre Artistic Director Francesco Ventriglia will also be the Commissioned Choreographer for RAD Australia’s 2022 Isobel Anderson Awards. |
“I am delighted for Sydney Choreographic Centre to partner with the Royal Academy of Dance to deliver programs that develop, excite and inspire the dancers and choreographers of Australia.
I have personally had a long relationship with the Royal Academy, and I know that this collaboration will provide an amazing opportunity for us, together, to nurture the next generation of artists to develop their own strong, individual artistic voices.” Francesco Ventriglia

“The Sydney Choreographic Centre is a collaborative and inclusive space for dancers to learn and experiment with their creative voice. We applaud their commitment to developing a new generation of choreographers and artists, introducing them to renowned international Choreographers, professional dancers, and other skilled professionals, and providing a range of development programs designed to equip dancers to create.
This partnership is a wonderful opportunity for RAD Members and students to be introduced to this community of artists. Together we are looking at a range of initiatives to support the development of choreographic skills and to help our dancers recognise their own desire to create and grow. This partnership will affect the future of dance in Australia, starting from our grassroots“ |

With RAD Australia currently in the midst of its own Composition to Choreographic initiative MadeBy, there is a heightened focus on developing choreographic skills in RAD dancers.
One of the first ways the two organisations will work together is for Sydney Choreographic Centre to host the winning composer and choreographer from MadeBy and give them space to create in SCC’s studios in Alexandria during Stage 3 of the initiative. |
Stay tuned for more initiatives by the Royal Academy of Dance and Sydney Choreographic Centre.
