MCDC call out for #hiphop and #contemporary dancers. We're looking for unique movers with strong freestyling skills and an interest in working outdoors. Deadline 1st October Good luck!
The Elevate slow conference that I delivered for my fellowship at @UnikentICCI challenged everyone involved to think about access, inclusion & participation differently. Here's a look back at some of the events, successes and lovely feedback from participants!

You can catch me on @BBCRadioKent on Monday 27th March at 6.25pm talking to @DomKingLive about the slow #conference Elevate! #researcher #inclusive #accessiblearts @UnikentICCI @TheGulbenkian @ace_national @SquarePegsDC @ConfidanceLtd
The relaxed space of Elevate's coffee morning yesterday offered some new artists a platform to share their work: Barrington Amaya's delicate aesthetic captures the cross-cultural sounds of the Mandolin and the Kalimba. #disabledartist #Neurodivergent #inclusive
What tactics are other disabled or #chronicillness artists or creatives using to manage their #WorkLifeBalance? For a relaxed chat with other people who know what it's like, join me Beth & Vicki for coffee: Saturday 25th, Gulbenkian cafe, 11am. thegulbenkian.co.uk/whats-on/?numP…
Thanks so much to Lily Norton from @Stopgapdance for delivering such an inspiring presentation for Elevate today. Fascinating layers of insight and intimacy come through in the creative #access process. Looking forward to sharing Dance Tapes for digital platforms next week!
I'm always advocating for slower processual approaches, for #chronic time, #spoonies or anyone else. I explain more about the 'slow' conference concept in this blog of the iCCi: kent.ac.uk/institute-cult…

Really beautiful, calming space, permeable to light and sound in weird and wonderful ways, from our super-talented @UnikentICCI associate artists @AoiEsteban Do go and see it this month @DockyardChatham if you can
@earth_andrew so many of the responses make me sad - will we ever get (back?) to the point where people can follow their passions and curiosity because they are simply passionate and curious? our economics is slowly killing human creativity.
@MPietroniSpenst you're doing a great job!
That means it’s never just an isolated incident. It’s sometimes three, four, five or more times in a single trip. If I’m taking multiple trips a week, it all adds up and goes from being harmless and inconsequential to extremely tiring and jarring.
So with that in mind, why do you need or want to touch him at all? Why do you need to interrupt my coffee, my meal or my morning internal monologue to ask if you can say hello to him? I actually find it really weird and creepy and wish people wouldn’t ask. At all.
What I’m saying is that it’s good to ask people before you touch their animals, but it’s worth considering not asking at all. Your interruption could be a drain on someone’s already depleted social battery. Some guide and assistance dog owners desperately want to be left alone.
