I'm excited for the opportunity to be a @companychameleon UPLIFT ARTIST and spend time with the dream boat of an artist and dancer @campfitwithcarl. He's the best performer in the world and it brings me great joy he's still agreeing to help me realise my weird worlds.
We’re excited to announce Jen Malarkey, Max Lee, Lily Antonia and Maisha Kungu as our UPLIFT artists for 2024. Each artist will be in residence at Company Chameleon three weeks this Autumn, when they’ll develop dance works at our studio. Find out more: shorturl.at/wQVF3

We've been exploring play across the generations with @Z_arts_mcr & @lancasterarts. Local people shared hobbies with each other as part of free workshops & we filmed the unrehearsed connections that developed between two people who had never met before. vimeo.com/868287864

Thank you @lyngardner for not forgetting the power of #CreativeEurope for the UK theatre sector & outlining once again how damaging #Brexit's been. @LIFTfestival was part of 4 Creative Europe partnerships until 2018, enabling 100s of commissions, tours, exchanges & more.
