Our Digital Dance Makers!

Three of SiD’s dancers Beth, Chris and Mervyn, are on a creative journey making their own digital dance animations in partnership with animator Eugenia Hamilton

The project is supporting Beth, Chris and Mervyn as artists and dancemakers.

The dancemakers have spent 3 days in the dance studio moving, sharing and creating their own storyboards.

Mervyn, Beth and Chris are now in consultation with the animator Eugenia, in getting their animations just right, including the flow and message in the stories, and the look and movement language of their character.

We are documenting the project through the work of filmmaker Calum Barre so as well as having three amazing short dance animations to share, there will be a documentary produced about how the dancemakers made their work.

There will be opportunities to watch the animations online and on screen in July, we will let you know when we have more details.

This is a new area of work for SiD, our partners to support us in this include Media Active Projects and Musician Andy Lowe.

This project is part of our ‘Engage Create Bloom’ 2 year programme of inclusive projects funded by Arts Council England

We are delighted to welcome Cai Tomos, Independent Dance Artist and Art Psychotherapist, to lead the second inclusive dance workshop, exploring movement, connection, and contact, for our creative team and Contact Dance Company members.

Cai will be leading You…me... and in between…

‘This workshop is about moving and connecting. Improvisational practices are an excellent way to connect. Here is a simple alchemy that begins when we meet without words. We open our senses and let our body say hello.’

How wonderful, we cannot wait!

Thank you, Cai, for joining us.

Today is our last day in the SiD office this year, and what a year it has been! We are immensely grateful to all the people who have listened, supported, danced with us - freely flowing, improvising, choreographing, leading, facilitating, teaching, making contact, and opening their hearts to dance and to one another. It has been a delight dancing with you, being supported and lifted by our connection. See you in 2026!
