The staff and trustees of Blue Eyed Soul Dance Company have spent the past few weeks looking at the future of the Company’s work in light of the loss of secure funding from Arts Council England from 2012. Whilst acknowledging the restrictions this imposes, we view this as an opportunity for positive change.
Demand for inclusive dance work remains high, and we are really committed to continuing the work that has been so successful over the last 16 years.
Blue Eyed Soul Dance Company will continue to exist until March 2012.
Rachel Freeman, Rachel Liggitt and Sally Edwards will then continue delivering different aspects of the work as independent artists.
- Artistic Director Rachel Freeman will concentrate on aerial dance and community performance.
- Rachel Liggitt will continue her focus on project based education and training work.
- Founder Company member Sally Edwards will continue delivering alongside both artists on a project basis.
- Company Manager Moya Malekin is taking this opportunity to relocate and develop her career.
We’d like to thank people for all their support and encouragement, and we look forward to working with you and our other many national and international partners in the coming years.
The Company may close but the dance will continue…..
I am sure that you will all continue to be brilliant and the great moments that Blue Eyed Soul has been able to create in peoples lives will be repeated on into the future.
