National Dance Residency Partnership

The NDRP is a partnership between Dance Ireland, Dance Limerick, Dance Cork Firkin Crane, Galway Dance, and Tipperary Dance to provide a networked support to choreographers in the production of new dance work. By coming together, the partners acknowledge that our collective infrastructure and resources can go further and encourage more ambition in the dance sector. 

We are delighted to announce that this year's recipient of the award is Alessandra Azeviche.  

Each partner is contributing financially and with in-kind space which will allow for six weeks of rehearsal time across the country. This award includes a financial award of €10,000 to support the residencies and invest in the development of the new work, and a bursary for the successful choreographer to attend Tipperary Dance International Festival, and the time and support of artistic staff. 

Through this award, it is our intention to open up the model of making dance work in Ireland by de-centralising opportunities throughout the country, whilst building networked production models supported by a strong partnership infrastructure.
