Each selected artist will receive:

A max 15 minutes slot during the night to share their work-in-progress idea

Followed by the opportunity to engage audience for feedback, supported by the South East Dance team.

An honorarium of £50 

5 complimentary tickets to the event to invite people you’d like to receive feedback from

1 day of studio space in the Weston Research Space (subject to availability) - ahead of the scratch night, to play with your idea. This may be shared with other HATCH artists.
