This scholarship program supports Tasmanian dancers aged between 17 and 26 to travel nationally or internationally (for a combined period of at least three months) to undertake professional development including:
- dancing full-time with a professional contemporary dance company or festival
- studying dance full-time at a dance education institution.
One scholarship of $25,500 will be awarded in this round.
Once supported activities are complete, the recipient must deliver a significant engagement with the Tasmanian dance sector. This may include sharing their knowledge and experience through classes, lectures, demonstrations, forums, or the development of resource material for the use of other dance professionals, or students or practitioners of dance.
This scholarship is made possible through a generous bequest from the late Annie Greig, a respected and celebrated member of Tasmania's dance community.
