Select from 3 programs

The Illuminate season

Illuminate shines a light on the work of MTL choreographers. As an annual event, Illuminate is a first chance for new contemporary dance works to be presented on stage, under full stage lights. Through the Illuminate initiative, MTL is able to nurture and grow creativity and boldness amongst its choreographers, giving them a chance to roadtest their work, and maybe see it unfurl in a new incarnation.

The Zest program

MTL's Zest program contributes to the costs of running weekly classes and workshop programs that give all adults access to dance. Whether it is to be more active, get fit, learn to dance or simply have fun with new friends, MTL's classes and workshops give adults a greater zest for life. In particular, donations towards the Zest program can fund or subsidise class fees for adults from disadvantaged backgrounds.

The Expand program

The Expand choreographic program supports MTL choreographers to develop their skills, knowledge, experience and confidence in creating dance. Expand gives choreographers access to dancers, rehearsal space, in progress presentation opportunities, peer support (through our choreographic club - C Club), mentoring and professional artistic advice.
