About the Focus Group research
Thank you for your interest in taking part in PiPA and Birkbeck University's Ballet research.
 
PiPA are running a series of Focus Groups investigating barriers to career progression for dance professionals with caring responsibilities, with the aim to identify support strategies dance organisations could implement.
 
The Focus Groups will help us better understand the lived experience, challenges and needs of ballet dancers. We are particularly interested to hear from those who have parental and/or other caregiving responsibilities, or are thinking about starting a family in the future. We would also love to hear from former dancers who have recently given up their professional career.

This research is part of PiPA's wider Dance Research, investigating supportive working practices that would benefit dancers with caring responsibilities to successfully continue their careers in a supportive environment that takes into account their needs, and in turn helps organisations retain artistic talent.

We are looking for ballet dancers, ballet masters/mistresses and rehearsal directors to take part in one of our upcoming focus groups, conducted by researcher Professor Almuth McDowall, Birkbeck University of London. The focus groups will take place via a Video Conferencing Platform and should last no longer than 90 minutes. If you prefer an individual interview this could be arranged.

To take part in the focus group you must fit into one of the following criteria:
You should be a:
 - Ballet dancer, or
 - Rehearsal director, or
 - Ballet master/mistress
 - Someone who has recently stopped dancing professionally.

If you are a Choreographer or Artist Director and would like to take part in the wider Dance Research, please email Anna Ehnold-Danailov anna@pipacampaign.com for further information.
 
All records will remain confidential and the information on the form will only be used to contact participants and then deleted. No individual information will be published and your identity as a focus group applicant will remain anonymous.
If the focus groups are oversubscribed, we will use the information you provide to ensure we have a balanced sample of participants.
