Regional and Remote Dance Educators Bursary

The Regional and Remote Dance Educators Bursary was created in 2020 by Ausdance Educators QLD (AEQ) to recognise and alleviate the challenges that dance educators from regional and remote communities in Queensland experience in attending professional development in-person. In 2024, the bursary will provide one practising dance educator (or the institution providing financial support for the professional development activity) with reimbursement of their costs (including registration, travel and accommodation) to attend the Queensland Dance Educators Conference 2024 (QDEC24) in Brisbane up to the value of $1000.

Applications open | 20 November 2023, 8am

Applications close | 2024 Bursary closed

Moving My Way

The ‘Moving My Way’ project was born out of the cancellation of 2020 Ausdance Educators Queensland’s annual conference due to restrictions imposed by COVID-19. This resource connects educators and students with practising artists by providing insight into their creative processes and professional practice.

The first project pack — a video interview and 26 pages of accompanying resources — features Queensland-based artist Richard Causer. Explore his choreographic process through this unique resource created by practising dance teachers.
