CONNECTION THROUGH DANCE
Story, Body, and Human experience
Our body-led practices do more than spark artistic discovery.
Language, words, and communication are the very things that make us human.
We believe that by ‘stepping into’ words and story, and somatically navigating their terrain, we can experience and inhabit them on a whole-body level – and stand in something essential within ourselves.
Through this process, we’ve seen how empathy for others (and ourselves) deepens, while exploring the complex beauty of our shared condition.
How we hold space
We have in-depth experience investigating this way of working across performances, community sessions, and live discussions.
We hold space for people to notice their felt responses to a story, stimulus, or idea, encouraging curiosity and compassion for our own, and each other's, evolving emotional landscapes.
Our practice is rooted in this process of self-enquiry, nourished by wellbeing practices carefully designed in partnership with the organisations Brum Yodo, the Good Grief Festival, and Safe Hands Consultancy.
Our spaces are always built around a duty-of-care, ensuring everyone feels safe, with equal opportunities to feel heard and seen.
Building a sense of community around shared experience is important to us.
Whether building new work, teaching, or delviering a community workshop, our approach includes group-focused creativity and collaborative, improvised seeking within dance or movement, where the challenge in the making and discovery, is part of the joy.
Through shared experience, we learn with and alongside one another — making, responding and discovering together.
