South East Dance: The Culture Chain

By South East Dance

In these podcasts, recorded before the COVID-19 pandemic, dramaturg Lou Cope hosts a series of conversations with four of the key groups that form the dance sector’s cultural food chain - artists, producers, programmers and funders.

These discussions are focused around the question ‘What do we need to do in order to thrive?’ and explore what works and what doesn’t in the traditional model of making and touring new dance work.

Created as part of The Red Line sessions, funded via South East Dance and the Jerwood Charitable Foundation Dramaturg in Residence programme.
