Community Cohesion

DUY piloted its first intergenerational community project – ‘Doodles and Daydreams’ – in Bradford in 2016. The project was artistically mentored by Gary Clarke and culminated in 67 dancers (aged 4-64 years) performing at the Riley Theatre in Leeds (Northern School of Contemporary Dane) to an audience in excess of 200 people. Since then, we have explored a range of different community projects bringing together people of different ages and backgrounds.

2023 will witness our most ambitious project to date. Working with six groups from across Bradford, we will be creating a 40-minute Intergenerational production to be performed at St George’s Hall, Bradford in October
