We know prehistoric humans danced together. For over 5000 years artists depicted their prehistoric communities using a motif of dancing figures. Today our global communities are united by values that divide us. Individual consumers in an atomised society.
This project is inspired by the human capability that marks us out from many forms of life - that we are able to dance together. B4HWD asks how groups can understand and celebrate that togetherness through choreography, training and performance.
B4 History We Danced began development at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland with the Contemporary Performance Practice course and 10 volunteers from the city. It has since been performed with student groups at DeMontford & Northampton Universities.
