Recipient Org: Description | We are a not-for-profit dance and wellbeing organisation based in Glastonbury, set up in 2004. Our aims include: • engaging people of all ages and abilities in low cost, high quality, fun, inclusive creative dance opportunities. • working in partnership with a range of arts, community, health, education and social care agencies to reach those who are most at risk of exclusion. • harnessing our work to social agendas, championing the potential of dance to deliver key personal and social outcomes. Since 2009 we have specialised in dance and wellbeing developing best practice arts work with adults with mental health needs. This work is led by artists with lived experience of mental health including artistic director Viv Gordon who lives with a long term mental health condition. In 2015 our groundbreaking One Step Forward project was highly commended in the Arts and Health SW awards and Viv was awarded the judges prize for her contribution to the field. Annually we reach over 1000 people. We work across Somerset - with regular projects in our hometown of Glastonbury. Our core projects currently include: 1. I am An Egg Dance Company - Weekly dance training for adults with mental health needs from across Somerset 2. Stepping Up - a series of short dance and wellbeing courses for adults and families in deprived wards of Glastonbury and Bridgwater 3.
