Our recent ACE funding bid was to look at sustainability and this in amongst a pandemic and life has led to run Doodle Dance in a way that is not about growth but about clarity, creativity and cause.
Doodle is focusing towards protecting 4 areas of childhood: PLAY, CREATIVITY, JOY and REST.
This has meant we have decided for the meantime to currently pause its regular ‘community’ sessions and focus community outreach within its projects.
This is allowing Doodle Dance to maintain the quality of work whilst supporting artists in their needs of sustaining well being, income and their artistic practice.
