Narrating Spaces is a dance project led by choreographer Adesola Akinleye with her company DancingStrong. The project weaves together collaborations, community arts outreach and discussion about social justice, film, and professional dance practice. Dancing, consulting, and listening to communities in a range of geographic locations the project uses dance in an attempt to take the body and bodily experience seriously when we talk about our histories, hopes and expectations.
The project shares the creative process of community workshops, professional dance choreography response, and film documentation. Thus ultimately sharing the lived experience of people through dance performance across communities.
[A reflection of this creative process of sharing stories through movement and words is published in Adesola's recent book chapter ‘Her life in movement: reflections on embodiment as a methodology’ in Researching Embodied Sport: exploring movement cultures edited by I. Wellard, Rutledge (2016). ]
