Lads and Dads Move! has been created by Jeanefer to
explore the disengagement of boys and young men from society. It is a movement
project focusing on relationships among young men and their older role models,
including their fathers, uncles, older brothers, youth leaders and male dance
artists.
Swindon Dance is delighted to announce a
ground-breaking new project led by Jeanefer Jean Charles, one of the UK’s
leading choreographers. Jeanefer has been researching and developing Lads &
Dads Move! for two years and approached Swindon Dance following the tour of her
work It’s a Boy in 2008-09.
To kick start Jeanefer's project in Wiltshire, Swindon Dance will host a week
long residency for young men this summer, in partnership with Wiltshire Dancing.

exciting new project!
