FACULTY | NATIONAL WORKSHOP TOUR

We are a new dance company who go by the name of FACULTY. We are commercial dancers who have trained at a high level and worked internationally and we now want to start feeding our knowledge and expertise to the next generation of dancers in this country. Hence the national tour.
We want to hit the main cities: Dunedin, Christchurch, Nelson, Wellington, Napier and Auckland. We would like to hit more and really go hard by going absolutely everywhere but we're thinking that might be best saved for another time, when we've got this one under our belt. The tour will take just under two months as we'll be working the weekends.

Anyway, the basics of it are: -Big, day long workshops in each city, featuring two of New Zealand's top commercial dance artists

                                             -Opportunities for young dancers to be chosen for "Professional Development" programs run in Auckland later in the year

                                             -The chance for us to share our art with the next generation of aspiring performers

An estimated budget is shown below:

We're looking at something like $5,400 in costs (if we're paying ourselves $1800). Depending on the turn out at each workshop, we could make some of it back through class sales. The main idea for this is getting to know the wider dance community so we're not too fussed if we don't make a killing.

Here's a little blurb about us:
