CONTINUOUS Collaborations is a series of informal online conversations running once a month from January to June 2023. The series marks the final year of the CONTINUOUS programme and offers a space to publicly share reflections from artists, galleries and audiences.
CONTINUOUS Collaborations aims to open up a wider conversation about the collaboration needed between artists, disciplines and venues in order to make dance happen in gallery spaces. This is a moment sit with the work that has been done over the last 4 years, delving into the lessons dance in the gallery has taught us about care, collaboration, the nature of touring and how to create the right space for dance.

This third conversation was led by Dance Artist and Choreographer Lucy Suggate and Dance Producer Nancy May Roberts. They explored what different sites of practice can offer in terms of metabolising and attending to complexity with dance and the visual arts, through Lucy’s CONTINUOUS 2019 Commission ‘Spirit Compass’ and new work ‘TENDER STONES’. They discussed slow and deep time, practice as a site of cultivating agency, and the undercurrents of artists navigating cultural institutions.
