In the box below, please share some information about your dance background (maximum 450 words).

We make awards to people of all stages of their career, but we use this question to understand your dance background and how a LUTSF Award may benefit you. We want to understand how your career connects with the project you want to undertake and how you connect to the dance community and the public through your work.

You could tell us about things like:

• Your training
• Past projects
• Recent work
• Current projects

We understand that you might have a wide range of relevant experiences, but please prioritise elements which are most important to your application.

In no more than 50 words, please summarise your project – what do you want to use a LUTSF Award to travel for and why?

This information may be used for publicity so please describe your project clearly, briefly and accurately.

Tell us where you want to travel to:

You can enter up to 3 destinations here.

Tell us the estimated cost of travel to/from your destination(s) above.

We cover the cost of one round trip from door to door in £ GBP. 

We fund travel only, so this is the total sum you are asking LUTSF for (not your full project costs). This number has to match Section A in your budget attachment.

Estimated travel dates:

Please give your best current estimate. Dates may be changed before travel is booked as long as costs are still within the agreed budget.

Access: If you require an Access Support Worker to travel with you due to your access needs, LUTSF will pay for their travel in addition to yours.

A) Preparation & Planning:

 In more detail, tell us about your project (max 400 words).

Please clearly explain:

• what your aims and activities are.
• any preparatory work you have done,
• any contacts you have made, and
• the reasons for choosing your collaborators/destination organisation(s).

B) Public Benefit:

What are your reasons for undertaking the project and how do you plan to share your learning for the wider public benefit? (max 400 words).

Please outline how the project relates to your work and will contribute and inform your professional practice. Please also highlight the contribution it will make to the wider dance sector and plans you have to share your learning for the wider public benefit.

C) Budget

Referees

Please enter a name and email address for two referees, both of who should know you in a professional capacity.
