The creative community in Newcastle is receiving a $99,000 funding boost, helping to support the continued growth and development of the city\u2019s vibrant arts scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The funding secured through the Australian Government\u2019s Creative Australia Arts Projects for Organisations program, will allow Catapult Dance Choreographic Hub in Newcastle West to further its mission of providing a creative space for regional professional choreographers, dancers, and artists to collaborate and develop new works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The $99,000 investment will enable Catapult to produce a series of funded artist-led residencies and performance outcomes for emerging and mid-career choreographers including First Nations artists Maddison Fraser, Remy Rochester, Anton, Sara Black, and Tra Mi Dinh working with regional professional dancers and multidisciplinary artists in a collaborative model of creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The annual program of fully supported residencies and performance outcomes offers opportunities for professional artists to collaborate, create, seed and present new work, advocating for viable artists\u2019 careers and development, within a financially supportive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Catapult is one of 246 projects across Australia sharing in $12 million from the latest round of Creative Australia\u2019s Arts Projects program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
