As part of our mission to support the creative development of the folk arts and engage a greater diversity of people in the folk arts, we have invited Folk Dance Remixed to be an associate company.
Folk Dance Remixed is a ground-breaking company creating fusions between folk and hip hop styles with live music. It is led by Artistic Directors Kerry Fletcher and Natasha Khamjani. Folk Dance Remixed rediscovers old traditions through contemporary forms, and takes it out on the streets through performances, Street Dance the Maypole workshops and participatory Ceilidh Jams.
Folk Dance Remixed present fresh, quirky, colourful and magical high-energy collisions of Maypole, Clogging, Ceilidh, Street, House and Breakdance, with a hint of African & Bollywood, to a live soundtrack of fiddle and beat boxing – Folk and Street Dance like you’ve never seen it before!
We support Folk Dance Remixed through rehearsal space, involvement in project activities, and as a listening ear. Folk Dance Remixed supports our aims and objectives of supporting artistic development and widening public engagement.
Refreshing and innovative! Truly crowd pleasing! We watched this performance amongst all walks of life and a huge age range, all thoroughly gripped and entertained, a must see! – Alexia McAvoy, Choreographer
