Infusion Physical Theatre was invited as featured artists for Gather UK conference in Oxford; a meeting of city leaders from government, faith, and social organisations. Soothe featured as a means of inspiration to city leaders of what a connected society could look like, as dancers build connections like synapses of the brain, or people crossing barriers; the whole becoming so much more than the sum of its parts.
We enjoyed meeting up with friends from Hope for Justice, Saltmine Theatre, Chris Duffet, and talks from keynote speakers including the Bishop of Oxford.

Non-traditional partnering: Infusion was pleased to host master teacher Bill Wade (Inlet Dance Theatre) who designed the pedogeological process of non-traditional partnering with Alison Chase of Pilobolus Dance Theatre. Watching UK based movers embrace the exciting new possibilities was such a joy. Fast forward 2 years, and we’re applying this choreographic method into shows, and community workshops for mixed ability groups, teens and adults, and special needs (Downs Syndrome, Autism, SEND students, and adults with Learning Disabilities). What a ride!
