Join artists from Stopgap’s core artistic team as they lead a practical dance intensive on the company’s recent studio learnings, and explore what is keeping them curious right now.

These intensives involve an inclusive full company dance class, improvisation, contact dance explorations, task based creativity and the sharing of Stopgap’s inclusive choreographic methods.

We encourage both dancers and choreographers to get involved, as well as practitioners who work inclusively and those who do not yet work in an inclusive way. Much of Stopgap’s inclusive dance lab is about bringing artists together. It is also a chance for us to meet dancers who are interested in working with the company in the future.
