The Ideas Fund is an East London Dance initiative that I lead. Ideas Fund partners are across London and have included Dancer’s Career Development, East London Dance, English National Ballet, One Dance UK, Redbridge Drama Centre, Sadler’s Wells, Stratford Circus, Studio 3 Arts, Studio Wayne McGregor and more.

The Ideas Fund brings together an eclectic mix of both creative and commercial organisations to co-invest in the newest creative talent in East London. The fund is designed to enable dance creatives to research, test and/or launch new artistic and entrepreneurial ideas.

Since its launch in 2016 a total of £91,000 plus in-kind support has been awarded across four rounds.
