Applications open

The Rose Choreographic School is a new experimental research and pedagogic project housed within Sadler’s Wells East. We will support artists to explore their singular choreographic enquiries within a collective imagination of a school through which knowledges and practices can be developed and shared. There is no set curriculum or syllabus, and no predetermined outcome; the focus is on coming together as a community of artist researchers to discover the conditions we need for speculation and articulation. 

We propose a postdisciplinary approach to the question of the choreographic and invite artists from all practices and inclinations for whom the concept of the choreographic is a central concern. 

Each cycle of the school lasts two years, during which we offer access to studio spaces, mentoring and a research budget. The artistic faculty for this first cycle are Alesandra Seutin, Trajal Harrell and William Forsythe and they will invite engagement with their own research concerns and practices through workshops and seminars. There will also be a podcast series and regular onsite and online meetings to enable the cohort to develop processes of critique and support. The school is based in East London but artists do not have to relocate here for the whole duration of the two years.

The school is aimed at a postgraduate level but welcomes artists who do not come from traditional training or academic backgrounds. Participation in the school is free, and applications are open now, to begin in summer 2024.
