DIY Dancer

‘DIY Dancer’, a short film commissioned by FRONTLINEdance. This film gave associate artist Kayleigh Price and members of our community dance groups the opportunity to work together to produce a unique piece of dance for film for the first time.

‘DIY Dancer’ screen dance project, centres on a poem by Matt Abbott written for community dance participant Mary Godden at an Appetite Event. It feature’s in the films conclusion which is beautifully signed by Kevaughn Laing (one of our ATP dancers and now emerging artists).

The performing dancers are from FRONTLINEdance’s community programmes – Breakthrou’ dance, Moving Together and our new Advanced Training Programme (ATP). Ages range from 7 to 77 years old and participants are d/DEAF, disabled, neurodivergent dancers or have a long-term health condition’s.

The film features dancers who had only just joined the FRONTLINEdance community (3 weeks in), where they and others made their performance debut as part of the film!
