Our team are preparing to leave Japan today after an amazing experience. We would like to thank our friends at LAND FES for such a wonderful two weeks of collaboration and co-creation, as well as the funders who made this trip a reality.

In the spirit of true co-production and demonstrating that everybody can dance, 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚 got involved in the project, including our Managing Director Julie Nicholson. Those who know Julie will have heard her say "I'm not a professional dancer, but I love to dance." She has completely embraced every opportunity to dance in Japan and the team wanted to acknowledge just how much effort she has put into the trip and the partnership as a whole. 💜💙

Land Fes are grateful to have received the funding to deliver this project from The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation, Ministry of Cultural Affairs, Kiss Port Foundation in Minato City, and The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.

DanceSyndrome has a small team in Tokyo at the moment, working on iCreate Japan with our partners at LAND FES. Together, they are working on co-creation of choreography using the same methodologies that we have been developing in the UK over the last 3 years. This stunning photograph is from today's rehearsals.

In February, members of the Land Fes team will join us in the UK to create an exclusive piece of choreography which will be performed at our iCreate showcase. UK audiences will be able to see the piece performed live at The Lowry, Salford, on Thursday 19th November. Save the date! Tickets will be on sale soon.
