SEEDING GROUND is a one-week creative residency designed to support emerging choreographers in developing new work in a safe, artist-led environment.
Across an intensive week of creative research, selected artists collaborate with three ADP dancers and a mentor to seed bold ideas, refine their process, and strengthen their artistic leadership all without the pressure of a performance outcome. Open to local and interstate choreographers, Seeding Ground offers dedicated time, space, and support to explore, experiment, and take creative risks.
To further invest in each project’s future, ADP provides professional film and photographic documentation of the residency, equipping artists with valuable assets to support ongoing development and funding opportunities.
Previous Seeding Ground artists:
- Yolanda Lowatta (23/24)
- Ashlee Byee (2024)
- Tyrel Dylvarie (2025)
Our 2025 SEEDING GROUND artist was Tyrel Dulvarie.
Tyrel worked with artists Jack Ziesing, Alison Plevey, Sara Black, Pat Hayes Cavanagh, Jason Pearce, and Jahna Lugnan.
