Introducing the performers
The evening’s lively and inspiring programme will profile mature and integrated dance companies from the communities of the Southwest, with 50 performers coming together to celebrate diversity and challenge preconceptions about who makes and consumes art.
Formed in 2015, DANCE SIX-0 enables people aged 60+ to create and perform contemporary dance works that engage, entertain and inspire. We aim to challenge expectations about ageing.
Based in Salisbury, DANCE SIX-0’s Company produces surprising and compelling works, made with renowned choreographers and performed by older dancers, led by Artistic Director, Rosalind Conlon.
Forest is a dance company for people with different abilities who want to take their love of performing arts to the next level by committing to building skills in dance, theatre, and music with the aim of creating new and original live performance. Forest have recently performed at the international outdoor theatre festival Inside Out Dorset (Activate Performing Arts) and with Project Dance at Collective, The Octagon Theatre Yeovil.
Grace and Growl are a contemporary dance company of mature adults based in West Dorset led by Artistic Director Anna Golding following the model of a professional dance company.
Since 2016, Grace & Growl has worked with award-winning international choreographers such as Eleesha Drennan and Luke Brown performing at local and regional performing arts venues including Bridport Arts Centre, Salisbury Arts Centre and Pavilion Dance South West (PDSW) in Bournemouth.
Yama is a community dance company based in Bath.
It’s a group for those over 60 who have danced, or are new to dance, to come together to devise original work, create social connections, and share work with wider dance communities through performances and workshops.
Yama regularly works with local and national choreographers including Theo Clinkard, Roseanna Anderson (Impermanence), and Richard Chappell.
