Dubai residency
Our recent residency in Dubai brought together young artists from across the globe for four days of creative collaboration and cultural exchange.
Students met and worked with fellow GYA Online students, created and performed in ensembles, and connected with peers from our partner organisations Centre for Musical Arts (CMA) and Dubai Culture, making our first residency a real milestone for the programme.
