What is ‘Hard Time Require Furious Dancing’
Furious Dancing could mean many things but it has joy, intent and creativity at its heart. We are two communities intent on furious dancing in hard times in order to bring joy, create and make change.
Working together and with our people we are growing a programme that will use art and creativity as both conduit and catalyst for transformation.
