Rose Choreographic School
Rose Choreographic School is an experimental research project based at Sadler’s Wells East.
We host a podcast series called þ thorns þ, an interview series called Thoughtographs, and we support a cohort of artistic researchers across a two-year cycle.
We call ourselves a School because we gather artists to share knowledge and practices. We do not teach choreography but we ask what happens when we think collectively about the choreographic.
The School is headed by Martin Hargreaves in collaboration with Producer Izzy Galbraith. During each cycle the Artistic Cohort work on their own research projects, with support offered by the School including access to studio space, mentoring and a research budget.
You can find out more about the School and the current Artistic Cohort below.
Rose Choreographic School is open for international applications. We are looking for 9 artists for the 2027-2029 Artistic Cohort. For more information about this please see below.
The Rose Choreographic School is a much-needed initiative that will benefit the dance ecology by supporting artists at a crucial point in their careers. It will be a living creative environment, where artists can develop and flourish
