Angela Goh receives SDC fellowship

  

Sydney Dance Company and Create NSW are pleased to announce that Angela Goh has been named the recipient of the inaugural Beyond The Studio Fellowship.

 The Beyond The Studio Fellowship (valued at $50,000 including in-kind support), was set up to support a choreographer, dancer, producer, composer or designer to receive $30,000 from Create NSW (the NSW arts ministry) while they work with SDC over a 12-18 month period. The Fellowship is designed to support career progression and professional development towards a future leadership role in the arts industry.

Angela Goh is an Australian dancer and choreographer whose work considers the body in relationship to commodity, materiality, technology and feeling. Her works have been presented across Australia and internationally, and she has performed in the work of other artists and companies such as Marina Abramovic (US), Mette Edvardsen (Norway/Belgium), Marten Spangberg (Swe) and Branch Nebula and Chunky Move (Aus). She was also the winner of the $50,000 2020 Keir Choreographic Award, held in March in Melbourne and Sydney.

 Goh will commence her fellowship in July. She will work on both virtual and physical creative development and learning sessions and lead projects with SDC’s PreProfessional Year program students. “I’m thrilled to take up this fellowship which is an unprecedented opportunity to expand the scope of my artistic practice through a dedicated and dynamic range of activities with Sydney Dance Company," she says. "This fellowship presents an opportunity to build meaningful, reciprocal, and enduring relationships between a major performing arts company and the independent and experimental communities that I am part of, and I am buoyed by the strength this will bring to dance in Sydney.”
