Company activities and impact

Keep Moving Project in partnership with FABRIC & the Commonwealth Games Legacy Trailblazer Programme Community Benefit Delivered a series of inclusive dance workshops designed for young people with and without disabilities, fostering social interaction, physical activity, and creative expression. Provided professional development opportunities for two core artists in the LYNNEBEC Collective network, enhancing their facilitation and artistic skills through practical experience and mentorship. Feedback from one team member: “My biggest reflection is to always do the most obvious thing, it’s easy to overthink or be worried about offending someone, but actually it's just asking the individual needs of that person to support them in the best way possible”. Collected and analysed feedback from participants, highlighting the positive impact of the workshops for participant well-being and creative development. Participant 1 said “Made me feel happy and inspired”. Participant 2 said “It was nice to get out of my head, I feel clearer, I feel braver”. We created an Inclusive Toolkit PDF. This toolkit encapsulates LYNNEBEC’s learning and reflections on our approach to working inclusively. This is now a resource available for the LYNNEBEC Collective network to understand and feel empowered by our methodologies. You're Out Of This World Tour Community Benefit Delivered free, interactive dance performances in partnership with a variety of festivals and events including but not limited to Mini Shebang & Full Shebang (Mansfield), Kings Cross Station, Deershed Festival, and Erewash Festival. The mission of the show encourages everyone to dance whilst creating a sense of belonging and confidence. YOOTW is an inclusive and accessible performance that promotes creativity in a public space. Engaged 1665 audience members across the summer, providing unique and participatory creative experiences. Employed 8 performers/collaborators during the summer tour, creating valuable employment opportunities and professional skills development. Feedback from our team includes “I felt very well prepared and supported” and “LYNNEBEC are by far the most thorough company I've ever worked with in terms of providing all the information we could ever need!” This tour marked the first instance of the performance team touring independently of the Directors, demonstrating growth and autonomy. Cloud and Proud Act Development Community Benefit Developed a new performance piece, "Cloud and Proud," working with performers and collaborators who identify as LGBTQ, promoting visibility and representation within the arts. The act combined scientific themes with inspiration from the rain cycle to highlight to strength of the LGBTQ community. Presented work-in-progress showings and audience testing at Croydon Pride and the Greenman Festival's Wishbone Cabaret stage. Engaged 500+ audience members across the two events.

Consultation with stakeholders

Young People - collaborating on and participating in the creation of new sustainable, interactive performance events for and with a range of young people, both in and out of education and targeting underrepresented groups; providing meaningful cultural access and participation in outdoor spaces and places. 2.

Our stakeholders have been consulted in the following ways: 1. Participant Consultation and Skill Development (Keep Moving): Participant feedback was gathered during Keep Moving to assess improvements, skill development outcomes and project enjoyment. This information will inform future project design and ensure alignment with participant needs. 2. Artist and Collaborator Development: Provided professional development training in April 2024 for "You're Out Of This World" (YOOTW) tour performers (from in and outside the Midlands), including inclusive dance methodologies, technical equipment training and programmer liaising.

Engaged LGBTQ+ artists and collaborators in the "Cloud and Proud" project, ensuring authentic and meaningful representation. 3. Audience Engagement and Impact: Engaged 1,665 audience members during the summer season. Audience feedback consistently highlighted that engaging in YOOTW felt inclusive, welcoming, joyful, and empowering. 4.
