Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

To advance the arts for public benefit by promoting in particular, but not exclusively, the art of Dance, and by advancing public education in the appreciation and practice of the Arts.

Mobius Dance Group Limited is a contemporary dance company that strives to broaden the perception of what dance is, champion creative talent, & nurture audiences, using performance, screen dance, cross-artform collaborations & an education & training programme to develop cultural innovation across the North & beyond, with the following values:

• Collaborative – with the dance community, with other cultural organisations, with a diverse range of partners beyond the cultural sector, & with communities at the heart of our work: people local to Bradford & West Yorkshire; people from socio-economically deprived areas; members of the LGBTQ+ community; young people, esp. aged 13-25; creating intergenerational and intersectional communities

• Challenging – as dance advocates, leading research, creation & engagement, presenting

work in different settings from stages to ateliers, from digital platforms to outdoors

• Curious – to stimulate change, test new ways of working, embracing people, ideas &

diversity as a catalyst for learning; to provide greater opportunities, embed change and

strengthen communities and outcomes

• Diverse – making innovative dance with, and for all kinds of people, presenting its work in different formats and contexts across England and around the world. MD has diversity

embedded across all levels of the organisation, from the Board of Trustees, to the senior

leadership team, to the creatives we work with, ensuring that the organisation is not only

representative of the communities we work with & whose stories we tell, but also that it

platforms & advocates for other backgrounds not currently represented in the local arts

sector. MD enhances the company’s understanding through engagement with people from a range of communities, backgrounds and cultures, to bring understanding & insight which informs & fosters change

• Nurturing - sharing MD’s passion, knowledge & resources with artists, participants,

collaborators & audiences, supporting talent retention & development

Mobius Dance creates extraordinary and inclusive dance which engages and resonates with audiences; we work with talented performers and choreographers nationally and internationally, to make dance for traditional and non-traditional spaces, indoors and outdoors, online and for the education of the public, bringing an understanding of the arts to a wider audience, who may not have engaged in the arts previously.

Public Benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives of the charity and in planning future activities.

Achievements and Performance

Main Achievements

The 2025/26 financial year represented a landmark period of artistic development, national visibility, and international collaboration for Mobius Dance Group Limited.

1. The Long Summer Day (Creation, International Preview & UK Premiere)

Supported by Arts Council England (ACE) Project Funding and Kala Sangam (now Bradford Arts Centre), Mobius Dance successfully completed the full creation and tour of The Long Summer Day.

Co-directed by Gianluca Vincentini and Fabiano Culora, the 50-minute choreographic work features poetry by Andrew McMillan, original music by Otis Jones, costume design by Bobby Soutar, lighting design by Luke Haywood, and a cast of four dancers (Naomi Chockler, William James, Michelle Scappa, and Allegra Vistalli).

Artistic Focus & Public Benefit: The work presents a celebration of queer body and soul, creating a safe, resourcing sanctuary centered around joy, rest, and embodiment.

International Preview: In September 2025, the company presented The Long Summer Day internationally at the Mobius Atelier in Novi Velia, Italy, and Sala Teatrale Palazzo di Città / Teatro Civico in Sassari, Italy, in partnership with Danzeventi.

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 30 April 2026

Main Achievements - continued

UK Premiere & Community Workshops: In October 2025, Mobius Dance staged the UK premiere as part of the opening season at Bradford Arts Centre. In tandem with the performance, targeted community workshops were delivered for non-traditional dance participants and LGBTQIA+ groups, fostering deeper creative engagement.

2. The Atelier Programme & Somatic Practice

Mobius Dance maintained its commitment to physical and psychological wellbeing through its educational and participatory arms:

Atelier Online: Facilitated year-round by Fabiano Culora, reaching 50+ participants aged 20 to 70 across West Yorkshire and beyond, developing embodied resilience through somatic practices.

Financial Review

Financial Position

Due to having minimal fixed assets, requiring little maintenance and minimal business overheads, the Trustees agree the current reserves are sufficient to cover the organisation’s committed overheads for the coming year.

Overall, there was a deficit for the year of £2,127 (2025, £79) and a reduction in reserves from £22,647 to £20,520. This was largely due to spending on the Long Summer Day project.

Reserves Policy

The current reserves policy is to only spend against committed Funding and Income from

commissions, with an aim to build a reserve that would allow our core operating expenses to be maintained for between 3 to 6 months.

Structure, Governance and Management

Governing Document

Mobius Dance Group Limited is a registered charity, number 1193822. The governing Memorandum and Articles of Association dated 3rd April 2020, now Articles adopted by special resolution dated 24th September 2020, as amended by special resolution and registered at Companies House on 13th March 2021.

Trustee Selection Methods

Trustees' Report (continued)

For The Year Ended 30 April 2026

Statement of Trustees' Responsibilities

The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under company law the trustees must not approve the financial statement unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
observe the methods and principles in the Charity SORP;
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at anytime the financial position of the charitable company and to enable them to ensure that the accounts comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the charitable company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Small Company Rules

This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

The trustees' report was approved by the board of trustees and signed on its behalf by:

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of MOBIUS DANCE GROUP LIMITED

For The Year Ended 30 April 2026

Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of MOBIUS DANCE GROUP LIMITED

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 30 April 2026.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the charity trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or
the accounts do not accord with those records; or
the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or
the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

be directly attributed to particular headings they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent withthe use of resources.
