The Coventry and Warwickshire Creative Freelancers survey was developed by Warwick District Creative Compact’s Freelancer Support Workstream Members. It was informed by a recent survey commissioned by The Midlands Dance Producing Collective (TMDPC), funded by Arts Council England, and produced and managed by Earthen Lamp. The original study was developed in response to the ongoing risk to freelance practice, careers and livelihoods, and the wider risk this poses to both the diversity and sustainability (entry points) of the entire dance ecosystem. The survey was also informed by a body of work developed by Sarah Brewster and Amy Dalton-Hardy as part of their Freelancer Support session at Warwick District Council's Spark event in 2021.
