Connections Through Culture

In July 2021, the British Council supported We Are Epic to work with ID Dance Co. to deliver a virtual, inclusive dance workshop to Nalitari Dance Company in Indonesia through the Connections Through Culture Fund. The aim of the workshop was to share inclusive practise and choreographic skills to enable disabled dancers to become creators. The project resulted in four films (2 from the UK and 2 from Indonesia) being made that shared the process and its results.

Two dancers from ID Dance Co., Lauren Russell and Kadafi Mulula used ideas from a masterclass to create this dance film.
