Founded in 2000 by Artistic Director Zoie Golding MBE, ZoieLogic Dance Theatre is an artistically-led, social impact organisation that delivers powerful projects that connect people of all ages and backgrounds through the power of movement. We work collaboratively with communities to co-create impactful programmes across arts, education, and wellbeing, making a tangible difference to participants and the places they call home. From engaging workshops and vibrant festivals, to long-term community initiatives, we help individuals and communities achieve extraordinary things and create unforgettable memories. Our projects promote social cohesion, reduce barriers to participation and prioritise access for all, especially in areas where provision is limited or non-existent. We focus on reaching those most underrepresented or least likely to engage with dance and the arts. Our mission is to help people live happier, healthier and more creative lives. About our work: Our work stands on 4 distinct yet harmoniously integrated pillars: - Get Guys Dancing - We are the UK leaders in challenging the perceptions of men in dance, creating access and nurturing individual and group talent from 6 - 76 years old. Celebrating positive male identity and inclusivity. - HomeTown - We work with inner city estate communities to animate places they call home, illuminate what’s important to them and foster a sense of community cohesion and pride. Driven by their people’s stories - past, present and future. - Mass Dance - In acts of epic collaboration, we bring 100’s of people together to experience the euphoria of collective creation and moving as one, focused on mental health and well being. - Brilliant Business - We enhance skills, and drive sector change, demonstrating and advocating for the value and power of dance Each of our pillars target a specific community with the clear aim to tackle under representation, social deprivation and lack of provision. We are committed to using dance as a tool for social change, aligning closely with the values and objectives of the Backstage Trust grant. With over 20 years experience in human centred and co-creative design we are known for our youth-led performances that challenge the conventional views on masculinity and gender roles, with a particular focus on engaging men and boys in dance. We have a strong commitment to community engagement and education, offering a range of workshops, classes, and outreach programs in the local community and around the UK.
