Community

“Engaging, moving, welcoming, sweet, tender, caring. I was moved to tears in the collective slow dance. It touched me deeply.”

We work across a range of settings including homeless shelters for young people, libraries, with bereavement services and community spaces, delivering projects that build confidence, support wellbeing and give people opportunities to express themselves creatively. Whether through digital and creative skills programmes for young people or creative movement sessions with older adults, we focus on enabling participants to contribute their own ideas and shape the creative process.

At the heart of our work is the belief that creativity and movement are powerful tools for connection, learning and wellbeing, and that everyone should have the opportunity to take part.

Programmes

We work with communities to create inclusive, meaningful dance and creative experiences that bring people together.

This show is suitable for theatres, libraries, family hubs and community halls. 

We aspire to reach audiences who:

  • Had a love of attending the theatre prior to their baby and who now face new barriers to engaging with the arts.

  • Those who have not experienced arts and cultural activities before, but who want to for their baby and/or themselves.

  • Carers who are seeking new and meaningful ways to connect with others with similar experiences.

  • People that love the arts.

A Dance for Us a dance and cello performance for babies 0 - 12 months and their carers (parents, guardians, foster parents, grandparents, aunties, support workers…)

A restorative, immersive experience where carer and baby can be soothed and inspired, celebrating the unique relationship forged in the first year of life.

​Prior to the performance, we take audiences through a restorative optional movement session as a moment for them to arrive in the space, connect with their babies and also perform movements that they often do in isolation at home with others experiencing similar things to them.

“He is only 10 weeks old so I didn't expect him to ‘focus’ on what was happening but I was surprised by how engaged he seemed.”
