We're pleased to announce that our Phoenix Fridays Artists for 2026/27 are
@sammymarkham___ and
@thorpe.douglas ๐
Since 2024, our Phoenix Fridays Artist programme has supported Leeds-based freelance dance artists to develop their creative practice.
Recognising the needs of freelance artists regarding studio time, space, and expanding networks, Phoenix Fridays was launched to offer local artists access to in-kind studio space and time to research and create with our company dancers.
Samantha and Douglas will each undertake two-week residencies here at Phoenix with an open invitation to their in-studio sharings to observe their work.
