We are thinking about making a show in a skatepark that combines dancers and skaters. We were wondering if we did that, would you come?

We don’t think it has been done before and we are excited about making it.

We usually make theatre to go in theatres. Since the pandemic we have had to reimagine where our shows might be rehearsed and performed. Campus skatepark were generous enough to let us come and play in their space for a few days. We invited Artemis skate crew to come and skate while we danced for an afternoon. We asked clockwise.film to come and record it because we wanted you to get a window in to our creative process.

We are grateful to Arts Council England for funding this stage of research and development. Fingers crossed we can find funding to make a live show happen. Watch this space.
