Sara Wookey Biography:

My lived experience is from working as a freelance dancer and choreographer for 38 years across the US, UK, EU and SE Asia. I have directed my own company and worked across the sectors of culture, commerce, government and education. In 2012, I wrote the now well-known Open Letter to Artists , a call for freelance dance artists to unite for more fair working and pay conditions and to say ‘no’ to poor-paying clients and potentially abusive situations. As an activist I went on to serve on the Equity UK Dance Committee (2017-2022) and was Chair of the committee in 2022, seeing freelance dancers through the pandemic and supporting members with issues of unemployment and finances. Working as an advisor and mentor with freelance dance artists to make successful funding bids and develop their careers and vision has been incredibly fulfilling for me. I also work as a consultant with arts organizations such as Dance East and Trinity Laban and serve as a funding reviewer for Arts Council England. As a leader in dance I serve as Trustee on the board of Dancers’ Career Development, have been a mentor to Museums Development on EDI action plan implementation and an advisor to Move Dance Feel, a charity bringing dance to women affected by cancer.
