Welcome to Dance Co-operative Birmingham. 

Coming together in response to the needs and rights of artists in the city of Birmingham, with a desire to champion mutual respect and inspire radical change.

Our Aim

 Our aim is to empower freelance dance artists to be the leaders of a well-rounded, adaptable & sustainable creative future for dance in Birmingham through innovation and collaboration.

​

Our goal is to provide security and support for working freelancers to pursue their artistic visions, independent from the trickle-down economics that dominate the arts industry, and create a mutually beneficial community that truly values the unique differences and expertise of its members.

​

We believe that working in a Cooperative format can enable us to truly support each other due to its democratic nature.  Read more about what cooperatives are here:
