ARCH

Research into dance and architecture

Arch is a collaborative project involving visual art, dance and architecture practitioners in reseraching the potential of and developing designs for the production of a touring live art installation that enables audiences to engage with dance, the human form and space in new ways.

We were recently selected by the School of Architecture at Sheffield University as a client for the 2008 Live Project. Each year Sheffield University offers the chance for selected clients from a range of backgrounds including local community groups, charities, health organizations and regional authorities to have the services of their 5 and 6 year MA architect students for free. This support in kind amounts to approximately 150 days of the School's exceptional research base as well as the commitment, vision and resources of highly talented students. In addition to this we are delighted to have the support of Arts Council England, whose funding goes towards supporting the fees and expenses of the artists involved in the project.
