“True happiness is something that you don’t have by yourself, you have true happiness when it’s radiating from the people all around you.” - Tim Newth, thank you for these words during your Cushion Concert as we celebrated your 35 years working at Tracks. It was our pleasure to have successfully kept this one a secret right down to the last moment as you walked in the studio. Here are some pics from the wonderful time we had reflecting on all the joy that has come with your presence in our lives through community and movement. Huge thanks to everyone that was able to join us and to those who contributed words and thoughts from afar to make sure we sent him off right.

Tracks Newsletter

Tracks says ‘no’ to trying to control the chaos, and ‘yes’ to developing fluid ways of interacting with it. We have invested many years in developing and offering improvisatory workshops for multiple dancers across many artistic disciplines, through choreographic development work and performance practice. This year we will be running several series of workshops, aimed at people with some improvisational practice already.

Impro Club is a series of regular gatherings satisfying the community's desire to extend and maintain their movement practice. Regular public performances will take place throughout the year in indoor and outdoor locations. This offering includes the popular Lushdance Intensives - a full day of studio time for improvisation, writing, drawing, and sharing food.
