Last autumn, we were supported by Escalate Arts to deliver our new programme, ‘Creative Futures: Behind the Movement’, at a secondary school in Surrey. Drawing on the wide range of creative skills within the KDE Dance team, students were able to sign up for a series of after school workshops. These sessions developed creative skills essential for the future workforce, skills that are not typically taught in schools.

Last year our Artistic Director Katie was lucky enough to be supported by the Lisa Ullmann Travelling Scholarship Main Fund Award to travel to Lithuania to the European Association of Dance Movement Therapy (EADMT).

“Having a range of experience working with people with health challenges including those living with dementia, periodic limb disorders and poor mental health, I could see how my work was making positive impacts on people, but I wanted to further understand where my work sits on the continuum of movement in healthcare and to better understand what my offer is and how I might work with a Dance Movement Therapist (DMT) in the future.”

Find out more about the experience and Katie’s thoughts about the trip via the 🔗 in our bio.

Thank you to The Lisa Ullmann Travelling Scholarship Main Fund Award for making this learning possible.

We did something a little spooky this week during

We did something a little spooky this week during my creative dance sessions for Equal Arts. We conjured some spells, put on our witch scarfs and danced with pumpkins before creating our own pumpkin carving designed inspired by a pumpkin Lino carving I made and brought in. We then created a movement phrase using their designs as a stimulus.

“I was curious about what you were doing.”
“Very artistic, very clever.”
“Can you do art projects with us.”
“It’s nice to see her joining in.” - Daughter of a new resident.
“Thank you for your company.”
“So kind of you to think of me.”
“It reminds me of tree rings and that one of Casper the ghost.” - Care staff

Welcoming to the team the fantastic zanni CT who has joined the team as a performer and facilitator for ‘Playscape: How to Build a Galaxy’ and is an amazing addition to the team! Find out more about zanni below:

“I am a dancer, maker and facilitator working across the UK and Italy. I work with the body and movement to explore possibilities, transformation, choice, multiplicity. I see dance and movement as creating spaces for exploring and practicing ways of being, ways of relating, ways of approaching life, ways of being in space; for creating alternatives to the normative structures and systems of power. Spaces for practicing presence; practicing play and curiosity; practicing dissidence, disrupting and imagining. I am passionate about exploring the body and movement through a queer and trans lens - queering up the body and reclaiming the potential and possibilities of dissident bodies, celebrating their imaginative and revolutionary superpowers.”

Welcoming to the team the amazing Colette Kite who had joined the team as a performer and facilitator for ‘Playscape: How to Build a Galaxy’ and had been doing an amazing job learning the role this week. Find out more about her below:

“I’m Colette, a dance artist based in the South East of England. I trained professionally at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance (2017–2020), working with choreographers including Lea Anderson and Gary Clarke during my studies.

After graduating, I co-founded the award-winning company MANA DANCE (2017–2024) — a female contemporary fusion duo where I worked as both choreographer and performer. MANA DANCE toured nationally across theatres and festivals.

I am currently a dancer with Ceyda Tanc Dance (CTD), a Turkish contemporary all-female company, performing and touring multiple professional works both nationally and internationally. Alongside my contemporary practice, I continue to explore a wide range of styles including hip hop, street, commercial and Latin dance.”

Thank you to the wonderful Dance Live team for enabling me to watch and score amazing performances by schools and colleges. Introducing the blend of dance and technology at this age is so crucial for developing young people’s understanding of the importance of both mediums in their futures.
