Corporate
Community
Kinetica Arts began life as ‘Kinetica Dance Engine’ and was created in 2011
from a mutual passion for and desire to dance and develop skills and knowledge
within the local community.
Through the ‘Dancing for the Games’ project (2012) - managed by Dance
Connected, the company expanded and was able to produce our first piece of
repertoire ‘Sync or Swim,’ choreographed by Julia Griffin and performed at
Stafford Castle.
No performance art form works in isolation and we have since attracted a
number of specialists in other performance areas. Our company now
encompasses a range of professional dance and theatre arts practitioners who
offer integrated workshops and support for: Physical Theatre, Direction, Set
Design, Technical Theatre , Acting, Storytelling and Small-Scale Performance.
We have successfully worked in partnership with both local and national
organisations to deliver and manage high quality arts projects and provision,
securing funding from numerous sources including Arts Council England and
Staffordshire County Council.
Kinetica now operate from a permanent studio space at the Venue@tean and are
in the process of producing new repertoire whilst developing links with
educational establishments, corporate organisations the wider community. We
are also delighted to offer accredited performance arts training for children and
young people through Trinity College London and The British Ballet Organisation
via our partner organisation Fusion Performance Arts.
