Are You Dancing?
Are You Dancing? is a brand-new, tourable, community-devised theatre piece that celebrates the joy of dance in all its forms. At its heart lies the stories of local people, their memories, their music, and the places where dancing has brought them together.
The piece will follow the lives of different generations who have each found joy, love, and identity through dancing. From ballroom to breakdance, disco to folk, the project will capture the evolution of music and movement, weaving together past and present in a powerful celebration of belonging.
Created hand-in-hand with participants, Are You Dancing? will combine workshops, live DJs, and the voices of community members working with professional actors to create a one-of-a-kind, uplifting experience unique to every place it visits.
Are You Dancing? is a love letter to the enduring spirit of community, the power of movement, and the shared joy of dancing together.
The Story So Far ...
Are You Dancing steps onto the floor in spring 2026 in partnership with our former collaborators, Telford & Wrekin Council, following our work together in 2022.
Participants will take part in two hours of weekly sessions, learning dance styles of their choice while sharing personal stories inspired by the dance floor. Alongside this, a series of DJ workshops will offer participants the chance to learn the art of turntablism.
The project will culminate in a work-in-progress sharing at the end of March.
In the meantime, we’ve been out and about across Telford and Wrekin on our disco bike, getting people moving, sparking conversations, and collecting stories from the streets.
