TD believes in fostering dance artists by supporting their development, allowing them the time and resources to research and create new work. This, in turn, contributes to the development of dance as an art-form in Ireland.

Every year TD Commissions engages an Ireland-based dance artist to create an original dance piece, including a substantial fee, studio access, a residency and accommodation in Tipperary.

TD Commissions is delighted to announce Magdalena Hylak and Lionel Kasparian as commissioned artists in 2023. Their new creation will be performed in secondary schools for TD International Festival 2023.
