community

projects

made with you, not at you.
movement built around your community.

Our Community Projects are designed with and for communities, bringing inclusive dance and storytelling to life in ways that last.

At the heart of every project is Stories in Motion, our artist-led, storytelling-driven method that uses movement to unlock voices, build confidence and bring people together. Each project is built from the ground up around your community’s needs, values and hopes.

Formats are flexible, from one-week intensives to 10 to 12 week residencies, in a single place or across several sites. Every project ends with a performance or sharing that celebrates what the group has achieved.

Local council, community organiser or service provider looking for arts engagement that means something? We’re ready to move with you.

What makes our projects different:

  • Co-creation from day one: participants shape the work alongside our artists
  • Access and inclusion at the core: every body and every story matters
  • Confidence through creativity: we make room for bravery, play and ownership
  • Ambitious but accessible: we celebrate effort, voice and creative wins
  • Place-based practice: every project honours the character of your community

Who we work with:

  • Local authorities and health partners
  • Pupil referral units (PRUs)
  • Refugee and migrant support services
  • Youth and holiday activity providers
  • Alternative education settings
  • Housing associations
  • Community centres and social services
