Rise 2024: Artist Networking Event With Guest Artist Mark Bleakley

We warmly welcome arts practitioners from across the sector to join us at our biannual Regional Artist Network gathering to connect with peers, old friends, and new faces alike. .

Visiting RISE artist, Mark Bleakley ( Keep the Fire Burnin' ) will kick off the event with an introduction to his interdisciplinary practice, sparking group discussions and highlighting some key themes of his work, opening the way for group discussion and reflection asking, “What ripples do you need in your pond, to create growth?”

Tea will be brewing, and delicious cake may make an appearance, so please be sure to let us know any dietary requirements.

Please note that this event is intended for dance artists, members of the Dance North Regional Artist Network and those who work in the cultural sector in various capacities.
