THE FREE ARTIST?
Twelve outstanding artists write about their personal and political experiences as freelancers before, during and beyond lockdown.
Dance Research Studio has made a short documentary about some of the projects that we have been supporting during the lockdown period: The Free Artist? and The Speaking Dancer. Comprised of extracts from artists participating in both projects, this film is a reminder of how vital and positive our shared work is.
In response to on-going developments surrounding COVID-19 worldwide, Dance Research Studio has decided to stop public activities from Monday 16th March until further notice. We take the safeguarding of our artistic community very seriously and believe it is necessary to support and comply with the closure of non-essential public spaces at this time.
