PRESS RELEASE




SEVEN NEW RAYNE FELLOWSHIPS FOR CHOREOGRAPHERS ANNOUNCED



Seven new Rayne Fellowships for Choreographers worth up to £15,000 each have been
announced with a special call for applications from choreographers working in the
commercial sector and the ballet world. The Rayne Fellowships, established by the
Rayne Foundation in partnership with Arts Council England, encourage and support
artists to connect more strongly with society and to act as bridge builders.



A brochure and application form can be downloaded at www.raynefoundation.org.uk
<http://www.raynefoundation.org.uk/>

Deadline for applications is 5pm, Friday 16 February 2007.



The Fellowships are an imaginative move to address the growth of intolerance,
incomprehension and insularity in society by utilising the strong communication
skills of choreographers.



The first Rayne Fellowships were awarded in May 2006 to four choreographers: Adam
Benjamin, Laila Diallo, Luca Silvestrini and Sue Smith. Since winning they have each
established relationships with organisations that will widen their intellectual and
emotional curiosity and help to develop their entrepreneurial skills.



So far, the existing Fellows have worked, or have plans to work, in a wide range of
contexts including Dartmoor Prison; the Soil Association; Plymouth Marine Science
Partnership; the Plymouth Consortium for Cultural Diversity and the Arts; the
Institute of Digital and Technology (i-DAT) at Plymouth University; Dance Voice
Bristol, Time Together in Bristol, Dance United (an education organisation working
with young people at risk); Tate St Ives; and the Whitechapel Art Gallery.



Cornwall-based Rayne Fellow Adam Benjamin says of working in Dartmoor Prison: "The
secondment has been a very important one for me. It has shown me a part of the
world (on my doorstep) I might never otherwise have seen".



Choreographer Sue Smith says: "I have (or will) among other things; attend life
drawing classes, go out on an ocean trawl, join young homeless people in their arts
sessions and take part in a mentor scheme for recent asylum seekers. Each
secondment is already taking us somewhere else, to new ideas, perspectives and to
find new ways to continue to enrich and enliven each others practice".



Laila Diallo says: "The Fellowship allows me to invest time and energy in learning
about people and from them, share thoughts and ideas with them and bring some of
these new findings and experiences to my work".



This is the final chance for Choreographers to apply for the Rayne Fellowships. In
the future the Rayne Foundation will be continuing the scheme in other areas of
culture and society. Ultimately, the Rayne Foundation intends to build a network of
Fellows enabling them to use their influence to find solutions to the problems and
needs facing society today.

style and vision in an informal showing at the Company's studios at 3
Charles Street, off Washington Square in Newport. The showings are at 7pm

Showcase in Palm Desert, California, where she received the finalist award.

proved that an event like this is very much needed in NYC.

Jana Hicks, Sidra Bell, Earl Mosley, Diane McCarthy, Christian von Howard, Patrick
Corbin, Carol Dilley, Isabel Gotzkowsky, Iquail Shaheed, Mojca Ussar, Gerry
Houlihan, Pascal Rekoert, Charles Anderson, Ray Mercer and Rick McCullough.

Due the recent economic crisis we are all facing, we have decided not to raise this
years fees for applications and production.

All entries must include a DVD of the proposed work (8-10 minutes max). You CAN
submit more than one work. No works in progress or promotional videos please!
Please include a nonrefundable application fee of $25 for each work submitted, a
current resume or bio (including email address

addressed and stamped envelope) if you would like your materials returned.

after the festival.
