Grace Okereke on the Selection Panel for Another Route, International Fellowship for Artists Based in England
Uprise Rebel are pleased to announce that our Founder, Grace Okereke, was recently a panellist for Another Route, International Fellowship for artists based in England.
Another Route is a new artistic fellowship that will enable a group of performance makers to embark upon a remarkable journey to internationalise their creative practice through a sensitively curated 18-month programme of events and residencies taking place across the world.
The project is designed and led by a new consortium of independent artists and companies from across the UK who bring to the project a variety of different experiences of working internationally across a broad range of contexts, not always with formal institutional support. For every company involved, the experience of connecting with other artistic communities and cultures and meeting and collaborating with people very different to themselves has transformed the way they think about live performance and about their place in the world. The aim of this project is to share that experience and support other artists who desire the same opportunity to begin re-imagining how they make their work and who they are able to make it with.
Another Route is a project designed by artists for artists, built upon a spirit of internationalism and a shared understanding of the benefits of ensuring generosity, mutuality and collaboration are central to how we connect with the rest of the world. It will bring together brilliant practitioners based across England, particularly those historically excluded from opportunities to work internationally, with a broad range of exciting international and UK partners and collaborators. In spaces across the world they will have the opportunity to begin talking, imagining and making new performance together.
Please note that applications for the Fellowship are now closed.
