We are thrilled to share North East Moves - a new dance-for-screen film where young people from the UK and Germany express their hopes, aspirations and shared experiences, set against stunning heritage and landscapes.

"An exciting, captivating and life affirming experience for the audience. The inclusive and skilled collaboration between the young dancers, crossing national and language barriers along with their willingness to be open to new opportunities, people and experiences was inspirational." (audience feedback)

Produced by Perform[d]ance (GER) and TIN Arts (UK), 'North East Moves' is a result of an international collaboration project where young people connected to both organisations worked with filmmaker Roswitha Chesher to explore ideas of identify, place and connection across international borders.

We had a great day in Manchester bringing together Cheshire Dance, Yorkshire Dance, TIN Arts and the Talent Development North artists to connect, move and look ahead!

We shared honest conversations, heard more about each artist’s journey, spent time in the studio together and had plenty of fun along the way. Looking forward to the next time we all come together.

It was wonderful to be able to premiere a new dance film 'North East Moves', at Redhills Durham last night.

Made in partnership with Perform[d]ance (GER) as part of our ongoing international collaboration, young people worked with filmmaker Ros Cheshire to explore ideas of identify, place and connection across international borders.

The TIN Dance House: A Home for Every Body

TIN Arts is a County Durham charity breaking down barriers to dance and empowering people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to express themselves creatively and reach their full potential.

We are working to open our new home, a new, fully accessible dance training centre in Spennymoor.

The TIN Dance House will transform what we can offer:

Accessibility: A purpose-designed home where disabled and non-disabled people can participate equally and confidently, removing the physical barriers that limit opportunity.

Increased capacity: Space to welcome more people, reduce waiting lists and ensure no one is excluded simply because there is not enough room.

Life-long pathways: The ability to grow and adapt our programmes as dancers’ needs change, supporting long-term participation, progression and wellbeing.

Artistic excellence: High-quality studios and facilities that reflect the ambition and talent of the artists we support.

Wider impact: A welcoming hub for dance, strengthening connections locally, regionally and nationally.

We are close, but we need your help. Help us unlock the door.

Donate before the end of April and double your impact: https://donate.biggive.org/campaign/a05WS00000Cshh0YAB
