“Both TIN Arts and Perform[d]ance are thrilled to be able to continue and build our exciting collaboration that actively explores inclusion and access in relation to young people’s engagement in dance through the creation of a new dance for screen entitled ‘North East Moves Inc’.

Featuring young people from the North East of England and the North East of Germany, the new work will capture and advocate our shared goal to enrich the lives of young people connected to our organisations through knowledge exchange, in-person collaboration and the creation of work with, by and for young people."

About the partners

TIN Arts is a leading dance organisation based in North East England with a national reputation for inclusion and access. Working from our studio in Durham City and delivering across the North East of England, we deliver over 45 workshop programmes each week engaging over 750 participants.

We develop high-quality dance experiences, which target under-represented groups supporting social change, promotes community cohesion and places the arts at the centre of people’s lives. We aspire to make the arts meaningful to those who engage with us and reflect in our outputs the diversity of participants.

Our work supports the development of new art and artistic practice, bringing society together in a collective dialogue about how best we reflect the diversity of contemporary England.

Perform[d]ance is a community dance organization and a regional contemporary dance hub in Stralsund. It offers enthusiastic dance practitioners—ranging from professionals and semi-professionals to non-professionals—a platform to explore and express their creative talents through various projects, formats and artistic processes. The association's dance artists facilitate dance in all educational settings, engaging weekly with rural communities. Around 220 people attend the weekly classes and around 20 performances take place each year - both in Alte Eisengießerei (City-owned theatre space) and outdoors.

Perform[d]ance is an experimental and collaborative laboratory for the production, presentation, and dissemination of dance arts within the region and beyond. Its semi-professional youth dance company has achieved recognition, being invited three times to the prestigious “Tanztreffen der Jugend.” As part of the regional network “MV tanzt an” they commission dance pieces specifically designed for young audiences, which are created for classrooms and subsequently tour the region.
