Supporting the future of dance, in memory and honour of Emma Gladstone OBE

Your Support makes it happen

The Trustees of the Emma Gladstone Award invite you to support the annual Emma Gladstone Award, by joining as a Patron. The Emma Gladstone Award aims to support producers in dance early in their careers to expand their networks and develop their skills. Your support is crucial to making this happen, in honour and in memory of Emma Gladstone OBE.

Continuing the legacy of Emma’s extraordinary work, an annual award of £7,000 is granted each year to a dance producer of significant potential at an early stage in their career, helping to expand their networks and develop their skills

Feel Involved

As a much-valued Patron, you will enjoy unique benefits including exclusive invitations to the annual Emma Gladstone Award ceremony, priority access to special performances by the Award winners at Sadler’s Wells and other venues, opportunities to meet with the artists, invitations to the annual dinner with the Trustees and Award winners, and more.

To guarantee the first six years of the Emma Gladstone Award, a fundraising target of £60,000 was set, of which just over half has already been raised. Please help us raise the rest to secure these important and vital financial awards for artists that Emma would have believed in and would have wanted to support.
