Established in 2021, The Pomegranate Project was launched with the aim of encouraging innovative and original work from emerging choreographers and composers in the UK and internationally.
To inspire collaboration across different creative fields and to strengthen connections between literature and other art forms, The Pomegranate Project's ambition is to nurture partnerships between the dance, music, art and literary communities, embracing combined arts as a means to increase public engagement and to highlight the unique and crucial role literature plays in nurturing new ideas and talent.
This year, The Pomegranate Project is curated by Isabella Gasparini, First Soloist of The Royal Ballet.
We welcome submissions from student and professional artists. Open to all dance forms/physical theatre.
