R&D 2025
Building on the response to the Forest Dance box we are now working with Bronwen to explore what it means to be able to dance how you want / dance where ever you want.

FOREST DANCE BOX - What’s your signature move? Which song gets you onto the dancefloor? Does the Forest have a line dance? Come and share your moves!

Transforming our Wyldwood Wagon into a Dance Box. A place for a miniature disco, small shuffle or budget boogie is Bronwen Wilson Rashad. This is to start off some conversations to feed into Bronwen research about the dance the Forest of Dean needs right now:

Bronwen is a dance artist based in the Forest of Dean. She has a background in contemporary dance and social anthropology. Having grown up outside the UK, with Welsh
and English heritage, her practice reflects her interests in belonging, place and folk culture.
She works to create spaces where people can co-create new folk traditions that make space for us all and say something about where we are from. She has an expertise in participatory work, with a particular focus on movement.

She is currently investigating how you can help a community find its dance, for the purposes it seeks. She wants to see if social and folk dance forms can help us understand how to build communities that are ready and resilient for the fight for our collective future. A dance
craze with a purpose, with something to say.

We are excited to support Bronwen’s research into the dance the Forest of Dean needs right now. Bronwen is one of the Jerwood Choreographic research project cohort funded by the @jerwood_foundation and @fabric.dance
