Pilot Community Dance Improvisation groups

We are pleased to be continue with trialling these new sessions in Newquay and St Austell!

Creative director Jo Willis initially helped to establish them and now the  facilitator/artists are: Newquay - Sapphire Sumpter and Julie and Rebecca

 St Austell - Janice Schneider and Demelza Rouncefield 

The new groups come from a need and expression of interest from people and groups in each area so we hope they will grow and flourish.

Helping to realise a comment from an audience member made back in 2005, "There should be one in each town"

Both areas can be underserved by Cornish arts initiatives, but have strong communities that we look forward to working with.

We try to make our groups as sustainable as possible and so are looking for local funding and in kind support.

Many thanks to The Henry Smith Charity for funding the first 3 pilot outreach sessions in each place.
