Situation
Economic and geographical status have long been the primary factors that determine access to dance and the arts, with underserved communities facing many barriers. Digital technology has the potential to change this, by providing artists and audiences with more accessible ways to create, distribute, and experience culture. However, despite new opportunities, there are still significant inequalities in access, and few tools that address them.
Solution
We use choreographic thinking and expert stagecraft to create performances, education and training programmes and Extended Reality experiences. Our team of critically-acclaimed collaborators explore important and topical concepts through dance, art, and music. We reach 15k+ live (20% first-time attendees) from underrepresented groups and 93k+ digital audiences annually. Our 10th anniversary programme will expand on this with a special year of high-quality and accessible technology-driven work.
