The Australia Council supports Australian dance through the Dance Board, Major Performing Arts Board and Market Development section. In 2010 –11, we provided over $16.1 million for dance, including over $4.5 million through the Dance Board. This support takes the form of grants to individual artists, financial and operational support to arts organisations, market and audience development initiatives and strategic initiatives to build capacity across the sector.
Further information about the Dance Board’s priorities can be found in its sector plan published in the Artforms section of our website.
Our Market Development section also offers grants and initiatives that benefit dance artists, producers and organisations including:
– Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM)
– Emerging Indigenous Producers Mentorships
– Go See
– Going Global
– Hopscotch Touring Initiative
– IETM - International Network for Contemporary
Performing Arts
