CoDa Dance Company are looking for Trustees!

WHO WE ARE:
CoDa Dance Company tells real life differently. CoDa is an award-winning, socially driven, female- & disability-led dance company with a 10-year track record of creating site-specific, Extended Reality and stage productions. We specialise in dance
and neurology, delivering exceptional participatory projects in hospitals and communities.

We give people joyful and meaningful experiences that inspire creativity and curiosity.

Our inclusion in ACE’s prestigious National Portfolio (2023-26) marks a significant milestone in our journey as a dance company, and we are thrilled to be recognised for our dedication to artistic excellence and innovation which align with ACE’s Let’s Create strategy. It is validation for our ambitious vision for pioneering digital dance works that challenge perceptions of disability.

Why? We know that 1 in 6 people will experience a neurological condition in their lifetime. The figure is higher once we consider the loved ones, children, partners or carers of someone with a neurological condition. This is not a marginal issue, but one that touches the lives of many people, both directly and indirectly.

Our Lived Experience Consultants have told us that seeing their experiences represented in the cultural landscape is a validating experience, helping to challenge common perception of dance being beyond their capacity. Disrupting these misconceptions through technology aided dance is our way of addressing this need.

CURRENT WORK

'Don’t Look Down' 

Working with a group of LECs (Lived Experience Consultants who have Acquired Brain Injury) we researched their stories and experiences & worked with them to develop the creation of an interactive installation that uses dance and creative technologies to raise awareness of, and shines a light on living with neurological disabilities.

Dance for Neurology
Therapeutic dance sessions for hospitals and communities, underpinned by our pioneering inclusive methodology, get everyone moving and dancing, including those with profound disabilities.
