Team Appointed for Barriers to Progression and Employment in Dance for Disabled People Research

We are delighted to co-host the online premier of Spectator On Your Self, a new dance film by K. Bailed (Kat Hawkins), exploring disabled autonomy, fear, joy and connection.

A series of regular updates from our Co-Artistic Directors, offering a glimpse into our rehearsal process as we embark on the creation of our new commission with Dan Daw Creative Projects.

Candoco Dance Company, Corali, People Dancing, Stopgap Dance Company and TIN Arts are co-collaborators in a shared enquiry and Working Group to challenge ourselves and others to increase and sustain the presence and representation by disabled people* in the dance workforce and its leadership.

Candoco is delighted to announce a new partnership with Dan Daw Creative Projects, who will be creating a new full-length work for Candoco Dance Company.

Our newly appointed Co-Artistic Directors, Raquel Meseguer Zafe and Dominic Mitchell, share their vision for their first commission at Candoco Dance Company.

It is with immense sadness that Candoco receives the information that former company dancer and dance artist, Mickaella Dantas has passed away peacefully on the 10th of February 2024 with her parents by her side, after a long battle against cancer. Through Mickaella's hard work and sincere dedication to the art of dance, she has left a long and continuous impression in the company and beyond, where she will be greatly missed.

We won a Bessie! The award is for ‘Outstanding Revival’ for Set and Reset/Reset.

This year's Day of Dance in Peckham Library Square was a joyful celebration of inclusivity.

Learn at your leisure with The Place's new Introduction to Contemporary Dance with Candoco Dance Company! This six-session series led by professional teachers from Candoco will introduce you to the fundamental principles of contemporary dance through creative tasks and explorations.

Today, Candoco Dance Company is thrilled to announce details of its 30th anniversary season. Delayed due to the effects of the pandemic, the season will include new commissions, digital work, and international projects and performances alongside the company’s UK touring programme.

Kimberley Harvey, Candoco's Director of the Youth Dance Programme, writes about her experience of technical training as a dance artist, performer and facilitator and how perceptions of technique and its application in an inclusive environment continue to evolve.
