Join the Freestylers for a live session of dance and improvisation. Freestylers a group of neurodivergent artists who have longstanding creative relationships built on care, support and trust. They believe that everyone in the group is powerful, and are passionate about finding ways to break down conventional power structures and share ownership of their work.
Freestylers will perform against their large backdrop paintings, exhibited in Flare-Up.
They want the space to feel relaxed and intimate. They want audiences to be able to come and go, shout and make noise, and to join them when they want to.
