BEEE Creative is delighted to have been awarded funding from Arts Council England to run Dance Re:Ignite 4.0 through 2024 and 2025.  We will be working with artists and partners in Bishop’s Stortford, Hemel Hempstead, Royston, South Oxhey, St Albans and Watford.

The Dance Re:Ignite project is a framework of participatory and training activities and celebrations designed to enhance and develop dance practice and infrastructure of provision for 55+ year olds in Hertfordshire. There have been three iterations of the project so far, all of which demonstrated the positive impact shared collaborative dance engagement has on peoples’ lives and that contributing to an artistic product increases confidence, self-esteem and pride.To support the project’s overall aim, it encompassed eight strands of work: commissioned work, tour and workshops, annual dance festival, film, practitioner training, practitioner network and internships.

We are grateful for the partnership support, training and artist mentoring from Moving Memory Dance Theatre that has developed the co-led/co-authored approach that is embedded in Dance Re:Ignite.
