Education Engine Phoenix Dance Theatre's Learning & Development program delivers over 1,000 workshops annually to more than 6,500 participants across multiple northern cities. This creates a strong entry point for school partnerships, educator training programs, and youth engagement packages, with potential for program licensing or ongoing workshop series with public sector or corporate education buyers.
Global Partnerships The company maintains an active touring stance with national and international reach, recent collaborations such as a festival appearance in Germany and a co-production with Jazzart. This signals appetite and readiness for co-productions, festival bookings, licensing of repertoire, and sponsorship opportunities aligned with international touring cycles.
Inclusive CSR Phoenix has earned the Scope Inclusive Activity Award and is rooted in accessible dance provision. This positions the company as an ideal partner for CSR focused on accessibility, inclusion and community impact, with potential for sponsorship of inclusive programs, disability-focused outreach, and partnerships with education or local government initiatives.
New Direction With Marcus Jarrell Willis as artistic director since 2023, the company is launching a new touring and production cycle and artist development program. This creates opportunities to offer early access to new works, exclusive showcase partnerships, content licensing, and co-producing innovative dance experiences with brands or venues.
Regional Footprint Based in Leeds and co-located with a ballet company, Phoenix Dance Theatre holds a unique regional position as a long-standing contemporary company outside London. This enables targeted regional collaboration with arts councils, venues, tourism bodies, and local employers for sponsorships, venue co-promotions, and expansion of youth programs into nearby cities.
