Our wide ranging national and international projects are easily programmed alongside the company's performances.

Projects allow participants to get an insight into the company’s professional work and choreographic process. They range from site specific performances with intergenerational casts to professional development for practicing artists. We deliver our projects through wide-ranging partnerships with organisations all over the world.
