“The biggest party I have ever been to”

THE MAKING OF

An immersive & collaborative dance experience

Beginning with a workshop, full of games that get you moving and interacting with each other in surprising and unexpected ways.   

‘The Making Of’ ends with dancing in a dome with a live DJ, where participants go on a journey through a world where normal rules don’t apply.

ABOUT

'The Making Of' is an immersive and collaborative dance experience merging a workshop and performance experience. By using a large dome set, wearable art, and a live DJ, it breaks down the barrier between professionals and audiences, inviting people of all ages and abilities to connect, play, and express themselves freely.

This unique social experiment blends artistic expression with community-building by guiding groups through tasks that explore:

• Listening and communication, through tasks that explore how we can work together as a team, use touch to lead, follow and attune to one another and get us communicating with one another non-verbally

• Dressing up and fantasy, exploring character, colour and texture with wild and expressive costumes designed to inspire new ways of moving

• Rave, a culminating, high-energy segment featuring a live DJ that celebrates, freedom, exuberance and collective joy

Every iteration of 'The Making Of' is entirely bespoke, adapting spontaneously to the energy, personalities and creativity of the participants on the day.

The creation of ‘The Making Of’ has been funded by Arts Council England, Dance City, Jack Drum Arts, The Witham and East Durham Creates.

We have toured to nine North East community venues/organisations through socially engaged residencies, collaborating with various groups in their local communities to bring ‘The Making Of’ to their spaces.
