So we took Featherheads to @EOTR again and it was fun x

[Clare Parker @minipipp]

Tomorrow #Featherheads will be installed in the Transit Shed @ExeterCustom for Summer at the Quayside from 11:30am - 2:30pm. Come and take a playful selfie & join in free dance workshops to learn our new flashmob 80s style choreography to original music by #Wahzoh @exeterculture

Deepest condolences. Such sad news.

💃Community cast call out🕺

We're looking for 10 community cast members from Torbay to join us for our performances of Vast Rocks Revisited at @filamentcic's Open Season. This recreation of our early work draws inspiration from local outdoor landscapes & the coastline in Torbay.

[Clare Parker @minipipp]

This was SO much fun and a brilliant tribute to the adventurous spirit of Agatha Christie that lives on in the folks of Torbay who when asked to do some fun and silly things, dived in wholeheartedly (and literally)!

It's a wrap!

We have now finished filming our fun "people's dance" film to promote the Agatha Christie Festival & the English Riviera itself.

The project was made possible by the generous support of The Linbury Trust. We will be premiering the colourful short film very soon!

[Clare Parker @minipipp]

Loved being part of this project! Wednesday night is your last chance to get involved - we will be filming a water ballet sequence - meet 6pm near curly bridge at Torre Abbey Sands for some splashy fun :)

We've had great fun filming our 'people's dance' to the song Anything Goes. The video will be used to promote both the festival & the English Riviera itself.

Thanks to all of our volunteer dancers, the film crew, our patient choreographers & the support of The Linbury Trust.

Great to be expanding our team and wonderful to have Tamsin teaching with us next year. Dance and music have such a special role to play in motivating people to stay mobile, independent and active and building strength & balance to help prevent falls.

Clare is the instructor of our strength & balance classes and Tamsin is doing her instructor training so she will be teaching one of our groups next year!

Great to be delivering dance for strength & balance classes in person again after the long gap during lockdowns. Every Wednesday we work with 45 people in Moretonhampstead, Okehampton and Crediton, delivering targeted movement classes and signposting #FallsPrevention support

[Wellmoor @WellmoorMoreton]

The social time is such an important part of our strength & balance classes. Here’s our Moretonhampstead group enjoying a cup of tea and a biscuit after their exercises. 🌱

What Jade said 👇👇

[Clare Parker @minipipp]

Just listened in to this @BBCDevon.. the new generation of artists talking about the challenges of growing up in Torbay and your enduring support.
I am gobsmacked by #NPO news - you are everything that #LetsCreate strives to be, and in a levelling up place too :(
@TorbayCulture

[Sound Communities @SoundCommunitie]

We didn’t get our @ace_national NPO funding. We proudly listened to our young people on @BBCDevon last night stating everyone should get the chance to tell their story.
We won't stop fighting to enable them to do just that.

Congrats to @BSOrchestra on receiving #ACENPO ongoing support.

Its been fantastic working with you and partners @VillagesIAction @WellmoorMoreton @OpenUniversity during 2022 to bring music and movement to isolated older people in care homes with support from @UKRI_News

[Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra @BSOrchestra]

We are honoured to continue as an #ACEsupported National Portfolio Organisation for 2023-26. This major investment enables us to bring the power of music into people’s lives across the awesome SW region we are proud to call our home @ace_southwest @ace_national @DCMS #LetsCreate

[Clare Parker @minipipp]

There is a critical lack of strategic support for dance in Devon (and more widely across the south west) - a large geographic area with a rich talent base of dance artists & practitioners.. feeling pretty bleak after today's #NPO announcements on top of 2 years of carnage..👇

[Clare Parker @minipipp]

Congrats to you and everyone at Doorstep on a well deserved place in the national portfolio (though I know its a mixed picture).

What a day huh? x
