Coreo Cymru and Chapter is the UK network partner for this unique performance programme, hosted with partners from Canada, France, Italy and the Netherlands. Coreo Cymru, Creative Dance Producer, Wales was launched in January 2012, to encourage and manage the creation and production of new dance activity, and to support the development of Wales based artists and companies.

UK representatives have included internationally renowned UK artists Wayne McGregor, Russell Maliphant, Fin Walker and Eddie Ladd, supported by various UK partners at the early stages of their development.
