Ballet Independents' Group (BIG)

Ballet Independents’ Group (BIG)
BIG was set up by Jennifer Jackson and Susan Crow in order to facilitate activities which address issues concerning the nature and future of ballet. They initiate events, respond and collaborate and facilitate links within the dance world.

BIG's objectives:
 To educate in creativity and composition in ballet
 To raise awareness of the need for funding structures supporting independent creative work in ballet
 To develop partnerships between organisations and with individuals, in order to nurture new choreographers and new choreography
 To develop interaction with other art forms in the creation of new work
 To facilitate communication and debate within the ballet profession and wider dance community

As a body BIG can:
 Initiate and direct one-off events or on-going programmes - courses, conferences, debates, choreographic platforms
 Respond to and collaborate with individuals and institutions
 Facilitate links within and outside the profession
