You and BDN 

  

Please read our Constitution and Code here to familiarise yourself with our current aims, ethos and the full terms of membership.  

  

Non-members 

​

Non-members are warmly welcomed to one of our regular networking meetings, to meet like-minded people, share what you are doing and find out more about the contemporary dance scene in the Brighton area. On your second attendance you will be expected to sign up to membership. 

You can attend some of our programmed classes, workshops, and events at a full price. 

As a non-member you can sign up to our mailing list to receive opportunities and news from around the network and from its members.  

  

How the Network works 

  

If you have been unable to come to our meetings you might not know exactly how the Network works. 

We are a grass-roots, artist-led organisation which was born out of the need to connect face-to-face with other artists. Our members make opportunities for themselves and for the benefit of others. We have the long term in our sights – we understand that we have to put time and effort into making this the community we want. A community that will support dance artists through the length of their careers. We know that by making an opportunity for one can lead to opportunities for many. All of the Brighton Dance Network’s activities happen through the hard work of volunteers. 

  

We welcome members to put forward ideas which will benefit the whole, which have sustainability at the heart. We can’t presently offer money, but we have a group of enthusiastic and highly skilled artists, producers and administrators who are willing to give their time and expertise, and which we believe is just as valuable. If you can see room for improvement in the BDN please come along to our next meeting to get involved with making it better.
