The Alice Programme
Our most ambitious initiative yet, inspired by Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, and powered by creativity, collaboration, and storytelling. Delivered weekly across 4 countries and shaped by local teachers, children, and artists.
Danser Ailleurs
A moving project with refugee teens in France, using dance to explore themes of identity, migration, and belonging. Culminated in a live performance and short film that gained international recognition.
Hospital Performances
Bringing immersive dance shows to children in hospital wards with artists touring across Paris, Zurich, Brussels and more. When a child couldn’t leave their room, we brought dance directly to their bedside.
Dance Can Do reveals how dance moves beyond performance – healing wounds, lifting spirits, bridging divides, and giving voice to those too often unheard.
