Mind the Gap

Mind The Gap is our initiative to help dance graduates to transition from higher education into the professional dance industry.

Piloted in 2018 as a face-to-face programme delivered in partnership with Hofesh Shechter Company, and presented remotely in 2021, in 2023 we ran a day of talks and workshops at The Dance Space. This was be led by a diverse range of dance artists, producers and theatre makers, and attendees joined sessions about how they could start building or developing further their career in dance.

Mind The Gap has been made possible with the support of Abderrahim Crickmay Charitable Settlement.
