We run a number of professional development projects and programmes that are detailed in the following pages. Most notable is our two yearly cycle of Choreodrome, for research and development, and the Place Prize, the most prestigious Choreographic competition in Europe. But there are also opportunities that come up throughout the year that are worth knowing about.

From October 2008, we will also have a comprehensive ‘JUICE' section on our website in which you can look at audition and job listings, engage with all sorts of opportunities for both dancers and choreographers, download factsheets and information on topics including Legal Structures, Choreographic Platforms in the UK, European contacts and a dancers' survival guide to New York City.  This section is currently under construction; however, check back at the beginning of October to see the finished product.

Individuals can engage with us at any point in their careers and we are happy to provide advice and support in a wide variety of areas.

Invited Projects

The Work Place

The Work Place is a group of carefully selected Choreographers who have an established history working with The Place. It works along similar lines to a theatrical agency in that we signpost prospective work opportunities in the direction of these artists and advise prospective employers about which artist would be most suitable for the opportunity.

If you are an employer and are interested in browsing the Work Place for an opportunity you have, for example, an advertisement, a site specific event, a theatre production etc, please contact us on 020 7121 1040 to gain access.
