Story
Chisenhale Dance Space is a home for risk and experimentation in dance and performance. Situated in the heart of Tower Hamlets for over 30 years, CDS is a gem of an organisation that serves its local and artistic communities with generosity, imagination and resourcefulness.
CDS is the reason I moved to Tower Hamlets. It's the only dance space in London where I can go and work amongst peers with the benefit of access to space, equipment and professional support without having to spend a penny.
I am running the Hackney Half this Sunday 30 April to raise money for CDS's ALLOTMENT FUND: a pot of money devoted to seed funding participatory projects conceived and led by members of its artistic community. Read more about the scheme here: http://www.chisenhaledancespace.co.uk/allotment/
NB: Every £1 given to CDS will be matched by Backstage Trust; if you give £5, CDS will receive £10!
“Of all the organisations I visited, Chisenhale alone felt like it might be the ‘secret way forward’.” - Spirit of the Underground, John O’Mahony, The Guardian, 30 January 2011
Chisenhale Dance Space has an active and diverse artistic community, contributing to and influencing the programme, supporting the space and advocating for its core values.
Supporting dance and dance makers and educating local communities through dance and performance have been organising principles of CDS since its inception. Artist Development is at the centre of CDS's work as an artist-led organisation. CDS staff offer support and share their knowledge, helping artists to develop their ideas and run their own projects. They offer one-to-one advice sessions, free desk space and the sense of a working home base for artists on the move.
