The Story


There are many people making and delivering important work in dance with communities across the county. The challenge…ensuring that the sector is supported to grow and thrive. But what does this look like? A small collective has been working to gather insight from within and outside the county to begin to unpick this.

We have funding from Create Gloucestershire’s Breathing Space fund (part of their Catalyst Programme) to explore how the dance sector could feel better connected, supported and inspired. This isn’t something we can work out alone. We are talking to people making things happen in Gloucestershire, researching wider collectives & networks and finding out what partner organisations might like to support the journey. 

What Do You Need?

Complete this questionnaire to share what you need to support your work and creative practice. The results of this questionnaire will be used to shape a programme to support and drive forward our dance sector. 

Alongside this, we’ll have in-person gatherings to discuss more ideas & plans and get everyone moving together!
