THE PROJECT
- The Dance WE Made : Let's Make a Dance!The Dance WE Made is the Record Breaking interactive dance performance that invites YOU to be the choreographer - no experience required! The project roams public spaces, inviting members of the public to devise original choreography in collaboration with UK based dancer and choreographer Tim Casson. These newly created dances are then performed by Tim in each location, filmed, and posted online for the world to see!The Dance WE Made brings dance to the public in wonderful new waysThe New York TimesThe project pops up in various locations to collect moves and ideas from the people who live, work and pass-through each area. By creating unique site specific performances that are filmed and shared online, The Dance WE Made, gives a new perspective on the locations and spaces in which the dance is created and performed, reflecting local communities and providing a unique performance that animates a city or festival.It's a creative project that not only draws attention to public space and how we inhabit it, but exemplifies the creative force in each and every one of us.

Video of The Day - Artinfo
18/06/12"Modern dance with a 'participatory' element would, as I said, normally see me making my excuses and looking for the exit light. But I really liked the ebullient nature of The Dance We Made and its rather sweet approach to taking dance out on to the streets of London, inviting the public to almost inadvertantly reveal that there is, if not a dancer, then at least a creative type in everyone."15/06/12
"Being part of the creative process looks set to be challenging but completely rewarding, creating the extraordinary from the ordinary"
08/06/12
"Ever since we got wind of The Dance WE Made we’ve been getting a little bit over-excited... There’s something pleasantly hippy dippy about the whole shebang- a bit like tree hugging without the social stigma and neighbourly BO."
