Emerging Artist

Where possible, ADP considers the viability and opportunity for artists who have undertaken the Internship to join the company ensemble as Emerging artists the next year.

With aligning ethos and creative skills, emerging artist continues to grow, contributing their interests and abilities to our work, providing youthful and contemporary perspectives. Our 2021 Intern, Patricia Hayes-Cavanagh joined the ADP company in 2022 and across 2023-2026 we will consider the viability and suitability of Interns to join the company.

This opportunity vitally propels career trajectories and enables employment for young and emerging artists in dance in the ACT. The Emerging Artist program is successfully extending and investing in avenues for developing careers in dance and the capacity to work broadly in the arts.
