The Masterclasses are aimed at professional artists working in the areas of dance, performance, technology, music, and production.

The series is made possible by Studio Light Moves – Open Futures and its partners, with a subsidised fee to promote access to the training. This year’s professional development programme is curated by Laura Murphy and Jürgen Simpson.
