VOXED creates a space for us all to be creative, to move, to talk and to share our stories.
We are a dance theatre company bringing people together through the shared experience of dance, theatre and film. We create projects that are digital, in person, indoor and outdoor and collaborate with community members, writers, film directors, dramaturges and performers to co-create projects that are for, by and with us all.
VOXED started its journey in 2013, when founder and Artistic Director Wayne Parsons began a choreographic journey looking specifically at the relationship between text and movement in narrative dance-theatre works.
Since then, VOXED has grown into a company who create innovative indoor and outdoor works that expand what we think dance should look like and where we find dance and increased their impact and reach through a collaborative and inclusive approach. The result is the creation of unique projects that are for, with and by us all. VOXED regularly collaborate with some of the UK’s best creative minds to bring each project to life. Today, we develop and present new works across dance, theatre and film.
Throughout our existence what has driven us is a passion for storytelling, a belief that everyone is a creative, and a desire to give all those we engage with a space and a platform to share their unique voice.
At VOXED are passionate about making art accessible to all. We help develop the next generation of creative talents through our varied outreach programmes including classes, workshops, choreographic commissions, work placements and film projects.
We have delivered thousands of dance classes, created tons of original film works and co-created many live performances pieces with a wide variety of creative organisations and communities across the UK and beyond. Past clients have included Codarts Rotterdam, Beijing Dance Academy, Eastside Educational Trust, London Contemporary Dance School, Trinity Laban, Mountview Academy of the Theatre Arts, London Studio Centre, Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary, Northern School of Contemporary dance, Centre for Advanced Training and Swindon Dance.
We are passionate about giving access points into the creative industries. We know how challenging carving a pathway for yourself within the arts can be. To help we offer work placement opportunities for recent graduates to develop their professional skills, increase their networks and gain invaluable experience in a professional working environment. For the past 4 years the company have also worked alongside Eastside Educational Trust mentored young cinematographers through the creation of high-end, quality media content for VOXED’s social media channels.
We regularly lead workshops based on their work for dance, theatre and physical theatre groups across the UK and beyond. To find out more about the content of these workshops click here to view the workshop pack.
