2023: BTM Pilot Project

Currently we are running our pilot project, a participatory dance film programme working directly with academics, artists and marginalised children and their communities in East London and Glastonbury, to make The Body's Voice, a public immersive installation this summer.

In December 2022 BTM was awarded an ACE project grant to develop and deliver our BTM Pilot Project. Body Talks Movement (BTM) is a participatory dance programme built on international Research and Development. It seeks to explore and articulates the creative potential of movement, whilst giving a voice to the underserved & marginalised through movement expression and film. Over the course of a series of movement research sessions; live-scored sound experiments; workshops; teacher-training sessions; site-based film shoots; and live installation events, we explore the social connections and affective experiences of dance communicated through/ in collaboration with multimedia technologies. Body Talks Movement weaves between dance, video, sound, installations, research, and teaching.
