Commissions & Residencies
We will work with you to develop the perfect project. We love meeting and working with new people. Let us know your budget and what you want to achieve and we can help to shape the perfect session and choreograph something unique.
We can deliver whatever you need.
Our commissions can be based around any curriculum – GCSE, BTEC, A-Level Dance, university modules, vocational training or a bespoke piece of choreography.
We guarantee high-energy movement phrases that layer powerful whole-body action with detailed articulation. Designed to inspire and challenge you, sequences offer dynamic texture through timing, spatial patterning and use of imagery to inform your performance.
Imaginative creative tasks will guide you to form innovative choreographic responses where you can break free from habits to push your physicality and creativity.
We offer the opportunity to work together and develop collaborative skills as well as feel the value of being part of a supportive and uplifting company environment.
Each commission has a unique point of view or flavour for the work; we invite our participants to be part of the artistic process and share in the dialogue as the work evolves.
“Lîla has been working with The Creative Academy for the past 3 years, and the students always look forward to their masterclasses and creative sessions.
Lîla’s innovative approach to contemporary dance and thrilling choreography allows the students to develop much needed professional practice based skills. The company is open and unique which creates a safe, honest and creative environment for professional development to take place.”
— George Kirkham, Principal, Creative Academy
Commission & Residency prices
All the professional dancers we work with are trained in the Lîla way. They work with us regularly, attend our professional classes, share our ethos and can teach our repertoire. You can choose to either work with one of our fully trained Lîla associate artists or commission one of our Artistic Directors.
If you want one dancer to work with a group who are under 14 years old we can work with up to 20 participants, for over 14’s we can work with up to 25 participants. If you have a larger group we can send two dancers and work with up to 35 participants.
