Dance Shorts is a partnership between venues and artists, it aims to increase access for audiences to see quality Welsh talent and to provide opportunities for Welsh dance artists to show their work at key venues in Wales. The commissioned works will be presented free in the foyer at key Welsh venues nationally across Wales, including Riverfront Theatre in Newport, Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff, Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Torch Theatre, Chapter Arts Centre, Park and Dare Theatre etc. All commissions will be presented at Swansea Dance Days in July 2013. Commissioned works to be a maximum of 10 minutes in length and will be presented before a range of performances in different artforms. The commissioning fee is £3,000 plus reasonable travel and accommodation expenses and this year there are three commissions available. To ensure quality and suitability of works to be performed, there will be a mentoring programme as part of the project to give artists feedback about the commissioned works before public presentation. Quality and fit for purpose will be the broad aims of the mentoring programme. Dance Shorts is a made possible with a grant from the Arts Council of Wales.
