Membership

The Regional Dance Centre offers versatile support to dance professionals working in the region: you can apply for funding for dance works and events produced in the area; find new contacts and collaborators; exchange ideas and develop your work; participate in workshops and training sessions, and share and receive information.

Our members are based across Finland, but all have some kind of connection to the centre’s area of operation. Receiving support is conditional on the activity taking place in or being related to the centre’s region.

Membership benefits include free professional morning classes, workshops, access to various support forms – such as travel grants – opportunities for professional development and peer support, and help from the centre’s staff in facilitating freelance employment and artistic work. The centre also rents studio space at Funkkis for artistic work on Tuesdays and Thursdays for €5 per hour for members.
