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.

We Are Animals

Originally scheduled to take place at DRS and Dance4 in early 2020, the ‘We Are Animals’ creative team have continued to meet online throughout the lockdown period, taking the research forward and supporting each other through a difficult period.

The ‘We Are Animals’ artists – Jacky Lansley, Jreena Green, Esther Huss, Ingrid Mackinnon, Fergus Early and Tim Taylor – continued to meet online over lockdown. They share starting points and fragments from their individual and collective research here.

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.
