Commissions & Projects

Throughout its history, Dance Umbrella has been committed to commissioning artists to make new work. New work is the life-blood
for a diverse and exciting dance programme.

Over the years Dance Umbrella has been responsible for introducing some
of the greatest international contemporary dance companies to the UK as
well as nurturing and promoting some of the best of British modern dance. The commissioning programme is a vital part of that success.

The Dance Umbrella Commissioning Fund develops and expands this programme to create new opportunities for choreographic talent, bringing
new work to new places and new people.
