Time to gather up again

Dear friends,

Hello! It’s been a while, right?

We’ve been working away at finding ways of continuing with GATHER UP and are really thrilled to be able to share with you that we were second-time-lucky with a bid to Arts Council England. Whooop!

This funding, alongside further investment from Bristol City Council through their Originators fund, and a commission from Bristol Dance Futures, will enable us to offer a new programme of dance practice opportunities (more details on this very soon!) from September 2021 and for two years. The project also includes research into artist-led initiatives to feed our thinking about the ongoing development of GATHER UP.

Renewed thanks to all of you who have supported us, in all the many, different ways you have done so along the way.

We are beyond excited at the thought of dancing with you again soon, in person, online, outdoors and/or however else we may need to adapt to the times we are in.

Time to gather up again.

Go well, everyone, and watch this space for more news soon!
