Candoco Dance Company

NOW FULLY AUDIO DESCRIBED, our new film Unspoken Spoken, directed and choreographed by Fin Walker, performed by disabled and non-disabled dancers.
This film is supported by The Space Arts, BBC and Arts Council England

"[working with disabled artists] creates so many different opportunities for me to move with them - level shift, energy shift, tempo shift... the shift in perception of what is and isn't possible means we can explore together. It's really exciting"
Candoco Dancer, Toke Broni Strandby, interviewed by WLRN Public Radio and Television in Miami last week alongside Shawn Buller of Karen Peterson and Dancers and Marc Brew of AXIS Dance Company.
Listen to the full interview here: http://www.wlrn.org/…/dance-festival-pr omotes-inclusion-dis…

Supporting artists internationally to create space and opportunity for inclusive practice is a key aspect of Candoco's work... Learning Producer, Ellie Douglas-Allan was in Tbilisi, Georgia last week doing just that.

“[Candoco] is interested in us as individuals and our physicalities,” he said. “They’re more interested in movement that is utilitarian rather than aesthetic.”

'He effectively lit the city in a swathe of artistic activity...'
We were very sad to hear that lighting designer, performer and artist Chahine Yavroyan passed away earlier this month.
We are so proud to have worked with Chahine on a number of productions and the arts will certainly miss his cool and charismatic character and his spellbinding artistry.

Would love to collaborate with other companies in this environment. It is the most rewarding thing to see that the when you highlight ability - anything is possible!!
