Wildfire Rising

Wildfire Rising from Cheshire Dance and Movema is an associate artist programme that aims to remove barriers of inequality by investing in and supporting dance artists from African, South Asian, East Asian and South East Asian diasporas to make way for the rising of their artistry, representation and development. 

The programme has now recruited three North West based dance artists, who will each take part in paid, bespoke professional development and reflection as well as receiving a £1.5k commission with support to develop their own dance work.

Each Wildfire Rising Associate Artist will receive a total fee of £3.5k.

Place one: A female artist from the African diaspora
Place two: An artist from African, South Asian, East Asian or South East Asian diasporas
Place three: An artist from African, South Asian, East Asian or South East Asian diaspora with an existing or desired specialism in traditional dances from world cultures.
