Emerging Artist Lab
Hosted by ADP in 2025 and 2026, the Emerging Artist Lab is a vital opportunity to connect, share, explore, and engage with peers.
Bringing together artists from 3 states across Australia in 2025, it was inspiring to see such enthusiasm from participants eager to explore what we’re doing here at ADP, exchange ideas, and engage in meaningful discussions about the journey of being an artist.
The Emerging Artist Lab has included:
- Learning award winning ADP repertoire
- Sessions run by guest artists and mentors
- A deep-dive into ADP's site specific practice
- Discussions about the arts scene and how to navigate a career in dance
- Opportunities for participants to share their practice
Applications for the 2026 Emerging Artist Lab close 12 December.
2025 Emerging Artist Lab - 30 January - 1 February
2026 Emerging Artist Lab - 21 - 23 January
Secondments
ADP offers two secondment placements to young and emerging artists to participate and observe the creation and performance of new work. This opportunity includes access to company classes as well as the creative process, valuable and rare opportunities for graduates or tertiary students to extend their experience, networks and confidence in working in the industry and build their connection with ADP.
