Chisenhale Dance Space is a British, member-led charitable organisation [1] based in east London. It provides rehearsal and performance space for independent dancers.
It was founded in the early 1980s by members of the X6 Dance Collective [2] who were originally housed in Butler's Wharf [3] It officially opened as a public performance space in December 1984. [4] [5]
The organisation is based on the top floor of a former veneer factory near Victoria Park in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. The space comprises offices, dance studios and a 75-seater theatre and performance space [6] which is available for professional and community use. Chisenhale Gallery and Chisenhale Art Place are situated in the same former factory. [7]
The Chisenhale Dance Space focus is artist development, experimentation, research, and the creation of new dance and movement works. [8] Their projects consist of artist development programmes and community outreach, such as Inspiring Young Londoners Through Dance, which was part of the Transformers scheme to celebrate the 2012 Summer Olympics. [9]
The theatre space is used for dance festivals, live performances and dance-related film screenings. [10] The space's 30th anniversary film programme included a screening of Hail the New Puritan – a fictionalised documentary starring Michael Clark and directed by Charles Atlas – which was filmed in Chisenhale Dance Space. [11]
Chisenhale Dance Space is part of the Tower Hamlets Dance Partnership. The other members are East London Dance, [12] Green Candle Dance Company, [13] Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance [14] and Central Foundation Girls' School. [15] [16]
