What is the The Tyrone Guthrie Centre McB Dance Bursary?
The Tyrone Guthrie Centre McB Dance Bursary offers an opportunity for a professional dance artist or choreographer to undertake a two-week residency in The Tyrone Guthrie Centre at Annaghmakerrig to spend time to focus on the development of a new performance. In addition to full board and lodging the bursary holder will have 24 hour access to the dance studio. The bursary is funded by an anonymous patron of The Tyrone Guthrie Centre.
