I am extremely grateful to Arts Council England National Lottery Funding for their support of my next project ‘Moving Together’.
Using dance and digital tools we will work with partners to nurture wellbeing, connection and creativity in paediatric wards, care homes and community spaces.
I know funding is tough so if anyone would like me to look over an application for them I can support the first person who reaches out.
I am really pleased to share that I am a 2025 Lisa Ullmann Travelling Scholarship Fund recipient.
Thank you to the fund for supporting my travel to Lithuania in September so that I can attend the 5th European Association of Dance Movement Therapy Conference: Visibility, Vitality and Vision of Dance Movement Therapy in an Unpredictable World. Learning from the conference will help me discover new ways to communicate the importance of movement in rehabilitation, wellbeing, and connection.

United Kingdom – Derby Museums, The Bowes Museum and NAS are proud to announce the 20 talented individuals selected for the 2025 cohort of UK Creative Community Fellows, a unique leadership programme designed for artists, creative entrepreneurs and community leaders who are passionate about driving meaningful change across the UK.
This one-of-a-kind programme blends in-person and online learning to support leaders working at the intersection of arts, culture and community development. Over the course of seven months, Fellows will engage in an eight-day residency in Yorkshire, a retreat at Derby Museums, small coach-facilitated groups for personalized support and monthly online meet-ups fostering connection and growth.
“UK Creative Community Fellows reminds us of the transformative power of investing in people,” said Tony Butler, Executive Director of Derby Museums. “This year’s cohort is grounded, experienced and poised for growth. I’m confident this programme will assist them in amplifying their work and building lasting change in their communities.”
UK Creative Community Fellows’ curriculum is co-created by programme alumni and experts in the field to ensure it remains relevant to the realities creative leaders face today. Fellows will learn practical frameworks and tools centred around the pillars of Person, Process, and Project to amplify themselves, their work, and their partnerships within their community.
“This is not a typical fellowship—it’s a dynamic community of practice,” said Hannah Fox, Executive Director of The Bowes Museum. “We’re proud to support these inspiring individuals as they refine their vision and unlock new ways to scale their impact. Their projects are bold, imaginative, and urgently needed.”
Begun in 2020, this marks the fourth cohort of UK Creative Community Fellows. The programme is supported by Arts Council England. and delivered in partnership with NAS. The programme has become a launchpad for cultural entrepreneurs seeking not just to make art, but to make a difference.

At Katie Dale-Everett Dance, we create inspiring interdisciplinary creative opportunities for all to discover more about themselves and others, leading to kinder, better-connected and healthier communities. We approach this often by co-creating with people who have had limited or no access to the arts before.
Our core values when making and programming where we take our work is to:
– Inspire creative engagement within all communities, including those currently disengaged.
– Advocate for the arts as a tool to improve physical and emotional wellbeing.
– Provide accessible, inclusive and meaningful ways for people to share their stories and participate.
We tour work to untraditional performance spaces including schools, libraries, community centres, homeless shelters, festivals, bespoke bookings for arts organisations and their communities and our hope for 2025 family hubs and hospitals. We have also toured to theatres.
The Micro-internship:
This internship is for two choreography and/or dance performance students who would like to be part of a research and development week. All hours will be spent in the rehearsal room where we will be re-looking at a piece I started to develop in 2019 called ‘Empa’.
‘Empa’ is an intimate participative installation using virtual reality and dance to tackle questions of communication, including: how we see each other and ourselves and also how communities come back together after lockdown and during the current loneliness pandemic.

We were delighted to have been asked by NCACE (National Centre for Academic and Cultural Exchange) to contribute to their blog, sharing the impact of an early-stage research project called ‘Digital Footprints’. The work was a collaboration with digital artist Thomas Buckley and academic Daisy Du Toit to explore how we could unravel the mysteries of our digital identities and their impact on the environment.
