Dance Consortium's Future Leaders programme is tailored for individuals aged 19-26, offering insights into theatre and dance management and providing connections with industry professionals through Dance Consortium’s network of 22 regional venues.

The programme creates opportunities to connect with international dance companies and choreographers as they tour the UK, giving aspiring early career artists, producers and arts managers unique industry insights and experience.

The programme is free to take part and designed to fit around work or study commitments.

Future Leaders has supported 120 individuals to date. Half of the programme places are reserved for individuals from backgrounds underrepresented in the UK theatre sector.

The 2025 programme will include venue insight visits, online skills workshops and peer mentoring to broaden the participants’ exposure to industry expertise.
