VOXED creates work that is, at its heart, all about storytelling. Our aim is to bring people together through the shared experience of dance, theatre and film. We provide a platform to reflect the world we live in and reveal the stories we share. We produce projects that are digital, live, indoor and outdoor and collaborate with writers, film directors, dramaturges, performers and creative individuals to co-create projects that are for, by and with us all.
VOXED started its journey in 2013 as a vehicle for founder Wayne Parsons to begin his choreographic journey. His journey began looking at the relationship between text and movement in dance-theatre works and with a focus on the development of scripts written specifically for dance works.
Since then, VOXED has grown into a company that tours nationally and internationally with its live works, that creates unique projects with, for and by local communities and works across dance, theatre, film and education.
What drives us is a passion for stories, a belief that anyone can be creative and a desire to give all those we engage with a space, a voice and a platform to share.
