Déda addresses the need for opportunities for artists in the region through our artist development programmes:
Incubator is a new programme for gifted recently graduated artists enabling them to develop their work, collaborate with artists in Déda’s existing Associate Artist Programme and make a positive transition from studies to a demanding workplace. Incubator offers a bespoke programme of development designed to enhance Graduate’s employability and build their professional network, whilst developing and retaining talent in Derby and the region. This is a programme focused on allowing new young artists a safe and nurturing environment that allows their choreographic practice to flourish.
Generator is Déda’s flagship associate artists programme which enables artists at varying career levels to gain access to a more in-depth and lengthy support programme. This allows more time, space and resources to let artistic ideas/practices flourish organically and build a stronger connection with Déda.
Déda OffSite programme encourages venues, festivals and events across the region to share knowledge and resources and best practice regarding outdoor performance. Through this programme we work with a broad range of regional partners to create opportunities that take regional talent to the national and international market place.
