Arts and Culture
Art Forms
British Council works across art forms to develop innovative, high-quality events and collaborations linking UK artists and cultural institutions around the world.
Dance
The UK dance scene is full of exciting new work, from contemporary dance and live art to more classical forms. We work with colleagues in the UK and partners in Canada to present new images of the UK and engage young adult audiences through the medium of dance.
