A range of dance styles, from contemporary to urban dance will be offered across the three years and evaluation will play a key role in the continued artistic development of the project.
East Riding Youth Dance is now recruiting at a venue near you for the Spring term starting week commencing Monday 23 February, it aims to provide young people with little or no previous dance experience, with a fun, energetic and inspiring opportunity to develop both their dance technique and creative dance skills.

The Spa, Bridlington - Mondays

Public Artist - Withernsea Fishing Compound & Environs Public Art Project
East Riding of Yorkshire Council, working with the Withernsea and South East Holderness Regeneration Partnership (WSEHRP) are developing a new project in the Withernsea. The brief is to commission an Artist to engage with the local community to create a focal point and physical representation of Withernsea’s fishing heritage in the form of public art.
The Public Artist will research the aspirations of the community for a public art project at the fishing compound helping to create a unique art project for the Commercial Fishing Compound and surrounding gardens that reflect the culture and fishing heritage of Withernsea. A key outcome from this project is that residents develop a sense of shared ownership in the artwork and that cultural and social capital in Withernsea is enhanced though effective engagement. The project aims to culminate in the creation and installation of a vertical structure in the gardens and a feature on the fencing of the fishing compound.
For a copy of the full Request for Quotation please contact Catherine Law via email catherine.law@eastriding.gov.uk
The closing date is 12 noon Tuesday 24th March 2015
The budget for this work is a maximum of £18,000 (exclusive of VAT) all submissions will be rigorously assessed for value for money.
