THE RIGHT FOOT
DirtyFeet is passionate about finding ways for professional artists to give back to the community.
The Right Foot offers FREE contemporary dance workshops for young people with and without disability, providing a creative activity for those who may otherwise not have access to dance.
We believe in the positive impact dance has on people's lives- it is a creative way to improve health and fitness, encourage self-expression and build confidence. The workshops are also an important professional pathway for aspiring young artists to gain experience to further their performance career.
“We have disabilities, but it doesn't matter: we can all move and be together and no one cares about the differences.” - 2015 participant Brianna Lowe.
In 2017, The Right Foot workshops were led by professional artist Brianna Kell in collaboration with a team of professional DirtyFeet artists who identify with and without a disability. The workshops were held on Saturdays throughout August and September, and delivered in partnership with Riverside Theatres.
DirtyFeet would like to acknowledge the contribution made by Sarah-Vyne Vassallo (Artistic Director, Murmuration) and past The Right Foot staff in assisting DirtyFeet establish such a successful program.
