We’ve just come to the end of a 5 week initial r&d on a new work involving movement, text and cassette tapes.
Over the weeks we’ve had the pleasure of working with lots of wonderful people and have been in residence at both @DanceBase and @the_work_room.

Why are the @theSNP spinning what actually happened. This a reverse of proposed budget cut. Not an uplift.
🖼️ We're substantially increasing funding for arts, culture and major events in Scotland.
🎸 In the #ScotBudget, we announced the £6.6 million uplift to Creative Scotland funding - supporting the arts and culture sector at this challenging time.
