Susan Hay, Dance Officer, Scottish Arts Council

“Having worked with Catalyst for the last 4 years, many opportunities have opened up in my career and many stresses have been alleviated.  The support has been invaluable and I am thrilled and privileged to have had Catalyst manage my work and look forward to the continued advancements in our work together.”

Janis Claxton, Artistic Director, Janis Claxton Dance

“I feel privileged to have Catalyst working with Curious Seed. I no longer feel like a one man band! Having proper managerial support has allowed me to concentrate on the creative vision for the company, with the backing from Catalyst to take it forward”

Christine Devaney, Artistic Director, Curious Seed

“Our common understanding has been based on developing a relationship of shared responsibilities and trust achieved through an on-going discussion about the nature of the work, what we want to achieve, both together and as individuals, and through the practical experience of professional working situations.  Most importantly success on an artistic level can be measured by the production and on-going processes of making the work itself.”

Colette Sadler, Artistic Director, Stammer Productions

“Having spent a period of twenty years as a performer, rehearsal director & teacher I returned to Scotland in 2007 to concentrate on my own choreographic practice. Moving back and making the transition from a successful per-formative career to making work has been an extremely difficult, but rewarding experience. Throughout this time Vicky Rutherford and Catalyst Dance Management have provided the practical support and advice needed during this time in a safe and confidential environment. This support is invaluable, particularly at this early stage of company development and planning and has been key to developing strong foundations for continued stability and success.”
