Autumn 2020
If you want to faster, go alone. If you want to go farther, go together.
We all know what a challenging year this has been. One of cancelled projects, constant rescheduling, fear, doubt and sadness. This year has brought trials none of us would have even considered around this time in 2019.
But, at the same time, out of the chaos and uncertainty, something else has been born. A renewed desire to create and be a part of a community.
A re-ignition of our resilience to stay inspired and connected. And a reclaiming of our practice as dancers, performers and above all else, human beings. Which has been incredible to witness and to be a part of.
We organised daily classes, we asked Sydney Dance Company from Australia, Beijing Dance Theater from Asia, Akram Khan Dance from Europe, Vuyani Dance Theatre from Africa and Trisha Brown Dance from America to partner with us and teach their rep. 3-month courses: performing for the camera and Julyen Hamilton.... everything to keep an active dance community, sharing, working and growing together.
It came at a cost, but we hope the service provided and the employment generated have contributed to the dance sector in these difficult times.
Any questions, comments, ideas to keep improving and/or ideas to collaborate with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Summer Intensive
If you want to faster, go alone. If you want to go farther, go together.
The first TWV summer intensive was an extension of the dream we have regarding the future of the arts and arts management. We are doing even in our power to create a bridge between the dance community and the decision makers, so that our training, financial and creative needs are heard and met.
We always seek to be transparent in how we operate as well as breaking down barriers to make the training dancers need accessible. As we pursue this dream, our models have continued to evolve, adapting as we need to make it possible. Therefore, for the summer intensive, we tried to take our financial model to a new level and implement three different mechanisms:
- Sponsors
- Personal contributions
- Enrolment fee
1. SPONSORS
As we launched this intensive, we were looking for funding and sponsorships.
Our goal was to have the intensive subsidised by outside sources as much as possible. This meant that whatever funding we managed to obtain it would be used to either partially, or in the best case scenario, fully reimburse the participants.
Example
If we secure 50% of the total costs to run the intensive from outside sources, we will return 50% of registration fees to all participants.
At that point, we couldn't make any promises , except we were going to do our best to keep fighting for funding and will remain transparent with our participants every step of the way.
This is who we contacted for support and the outcome: List

2. PERSONAL CONTRIBUTIONS
We also asked if anyone was able to do so, to please consider contributing to the teachers and the platform via our PayPal contributions' link. In order to track those contributions we asked participants to make sure they specify their donation was for the TWV Intensive.
Total received from contributions: 30€
(last update: 11th August 2020)
Any spare donations were added to the other source of incomes and follow the same system of distribution between all teachers and team as detailed below.
3. ENROLMENT FEE
When participants registered for the summer intensive classes, in order to secure their place, we were asking for a small fee per session. The fee was the equivalent of 5€/3-hour session.
Introducing this fee meant that we were going to be able to cover some of the costs of running the intensive, paying our teachers and our team a fair salary for their time and hard work. By dedicating one member of our team to solely search for sponsors, we were still committed to supporting our community removing financial barriers for dancers, aiming to relieve our participants of as much financial pressure as we could.
SUMMARY:
It was agreed with the teachers that the total income from contributions and enrolment fees was going to be distributed as follows:
- 70% of each workshop's proceed will go to the teacher of each workshop
- 5% for TWV infrastructures necessary for these online classes: zoom, mailing list, etc
- The remaining 25% is used to pay the 4 freelance colleagues working to update daily our social media, newsletter, teachers liaison and finances, participants liaison, copywriting and scheduling.
