About
The Rose Choreographic School invites applications for its second Artistic Cohort, running from April 2027 to March 2029. This experimental research and pedagogy project, based at Sadler’s Wells East, London, seeks 9 artists to explore the concept of the choreographic. Successful applicants will receive a £15,000 research budget, access to studio space, mentoring, and production support. The program emphasizes a postdisciplinary approach to choreographic inquiry and collaborative learning. While not required to relocate, artists must attend regular Cohort Assemblies, with travel and accommodation costs covered. The school encourages applications from individuals with diverse backgrounds who are interested in investigating the choreographic, whether rooted in art-making or not.
