Dramatic changes for arts funding
Major changes to the way companies are funded by the Scottish Arts Council are set to be unveiled.
There will no longer be automatic core funding for the 100-plus companies currently on the organisation's books.

From next March, some will be eligible for long-term "foundation funding" while others will be offered "flexible funding" for up to three years.

The Scottish Arts Council is itself being merged with Scottish Screen to create a new cultural development agency to be called Creative Scotland.

How this affects dance funding will no doubt become clearer later.
