News & Announcements

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

In June 2019, a group of disabled and non-disabled performers from the South Caucasus and Ukraine started rehearsals for a show that would become The Argonauts.

Unlimited: Making the Right Moves was a six-year programme run by the British Council, in partnership with Candoco across Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine.

Nicola De Maine, ex-service woman and performer, writes about the importance of listening to create Muster, a brand new piece of work which was developed in just one week through a collaboration between Cando2, members of the cast of Charlie F and Shakespeare’s Soldiers, and boys from Caldicott School.

Candoco embarked on an exciting project with British Council Nigeria, aiming to support the development of a new work by a choreographer from Lagos. The inclusive work was performed by local dancers later in the year in Lagos. Company dancers Toke, Mirjam and Tanja and Artistic Co-Director Pedro visited earlier to get things started. Toke shares his reflections….

We brought together 20 participants from all over the world for three days with our company dancers and together explored Candoco’s approach to inclusive teaching as well as the foundations of individual teaching practice.

Joanne, General Manager at Candoco Dance Company, looks at dance inclusivity and Candoco's collaboration with international organisations on the project Moving Beyond Inclusion.
