velcro dance company
Velcro is an integrated dance company through which disabled and non-disabled performers and choreographers can develop. The company devises its own work, performs contemporary dance and undertakes commissions and education work.
Velcro - Beyond the Surface
The aim is to produce inspiring and powerful dance performances and to influence formal education locally and nationally. It does this through:
- performance and education work for students and teachers in schools, colleges and in the community
- performances, talks and workshops at national events such as health conferences and disability awareness platforms
- working in partnership with further and higher education institutions to encourage inclusion and / or develop courses for disabled artists
- providing professional development for company members and associates
- developing effective working processes and choreographic language for integrated dance
Underlying all the company’s work is a belief in equality and empowerment (making Velcro proactively integrated), and the balance between performance and education.
