CALL OUT FOR TOURING PRODUCTIONSexpiredRural Touring Dance Initiative
|
Description:The Rural Touring Dance Initiative (RTDI) is a national project which supports dance artists to tour to rural venues across the UK. Our venues can range from village halls and libraries to small scale arts centres. We are currently seeking the next selection of artists to tour their existing work to rural locations during autumn 2025 and spring 2026. This year we have a new package of support for artists working with Hip Hop dance styles in their work.Rural touring is unique, offering you the opportunity to meet audiences in intimate venues, and to transform local spaces. “It is hard to put into words how special rural touring is. It is almost like visiting family you haven’t yet met. In all the experiences we have had with this show, we have met people who are doing the job voluntarily and so they are doing it with a passion. We have stayed in people’s houses. It feels so opposite to how touring usually works where we don't even meet the person who programmed the show. That adds to the quality of the work.” RTDI 2, Touring Artist From this call out, RTDI curates a national 'menu' of dance productions, featuring a selection of up to eight exceptional shows. Rural programmers will have the opportunity to handpick shows from this menu for their programmes. The project is run by Highlights, National Rural Touring Forum (NRTF), Sonia Sabri Co, Take Art & The Place. In 2022 the project was awarded grants from Arts Council England and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation to continue to support dance touring from 2022 to 2026. RTDI is committed to nurturing dance talent and fostering vibrant cultural exchanges in rural spaces. Previous artists supported by the project include Joan Cleville, Joshua Nash, Lost Dog, Protein, Aakash Odedra Company and Uchenna Dance.
