The package

Meta4 collaborated with Pelican to create 2 high quality workshops that were curated for rural communities with support from Helix Arts.

After working with 3 different focus groups discussing and learning about the barriers stopping audiences from participating and watching dance, we created a package which consisted of 2 workshops followed by a double bill of Meta4’s ‘Confluence’ and Pelican’s ‘Blue Mind’.

This package was delivered to two communities, in Northumberland and Newcastle in October 2022.
