Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre has announced further details for its new artist development programme for early-career musical theatre choreographers, Theatre Dance Lab.

The programme offers two early-career choreographers a paid residency to develop their practice, culminating in an industry showcase at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre. The successful applicants will receive coaching from Drew McOnie and mentoring from the theatre’s producing team, as well as sessions with external choreographers. They will also have access to a rehearsal space and professional dancers to work with.

Drew McOnie, Artistic Director, said today, “I am thrilled to announce Theatre Dance Lab and offer this unique opportunity to early-career musical theatre choreographers. We are hugely grateful to both The Dorfman Foundation and the Garrick Charitable Trust for their generous support of the project. As a choreographer myself, I am proud to be able to support the next generation of musical theatre dance makers and offer a new platform for the development of their work.”

       

Applications are open now and close on Wednesday, 16 April 2025, at 12pm. Successful applicants will be invited for interviews on 12 & 13 May 2025.

The programme will run from Monday, 8 September to Friday, 19 September 2025, with availability also required during the year to allow for mentoring sessions, coaching, and meetings.
