SADLER'S WELLS / INDEPENDENT OPERA Choreographer’s Fellowship: Vena Ramphal
Description
The SADLER’S WELLS / INDEPENDENT OPERA Choreographer’s Fellowship was designed to encourage a promising young choreographer’s interest in opera, either via placement with an established company or through collaboration with choreographers already working in this field.
The Recipient was chosen by a Committee comprised of representatives from SADLER’S WELLS and the Trustees of INDEPENDENT OPERA.
The Fellowship was for a period of one year and provided £3000, with specific disbursements subject to approval by the Committee.
The most recent SADLER'S WELLS / INDEPENDENT OPERA Choreographer's Fellowship was awarded in 2007. This Fellowship is not ongoing.

Alongside a main emphasis of presenting and producing dance, Sadler's Wells runs an ongoing programme of innovative opera from companies within the UK and worldwide. The theatre has a particular interest in productions where dance and opera come together either through choreographer-directed operas, or those with a strong dance element.
Sadler's Wells CEO and Artistic Director Alistair Spalding comments, "I’m delighted to be supporting Independent Opera, and this unique project for the development of young singers, directors, composers and choreographers. I applaud their desire to present lesser known repertoire and to approach existing operas in such an inventive way."
