INTERNATIONAL WORK

Connecting Artists Across Borders

International collaboration is an important part of Anjali’s artistic development.

We believe that bringing learning-disabled artists together with artists and organisations from different countries creates opportunities to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions and discover new ways of making and experiencing dance.

Our international work is not simply about taking existing productions overseas. We are interested in long-term relationships, shared learning and genuine artistic exchange — creating opportunities for artists to work together, influence each other’s practice and develop new work.

Through international partnerships, Anjali’s dancers have worked with artists from different cultural and creative contexts, developed new approaches to collaboration and represented learning-disabled artists within international dance networks.

Our current international work includes We Dance, We Connect, our ongoing partnership with com.dance in Germany, and Four Nations, a new collaboration connecting artists and communities across Sweden, Scotland and the UK, commencing 2027.

Why International Work Matters

International collaboration allows Anjali to take the experience and expertise of our artists into new contexts while also bringing new ideas back into our own practice.

Our dancers are not simply performers representing Anjali overseas. They are artists, collaborators, teachers and creative contributors, bringing their own perspectives into international conversations about dance, disability and inclusion.

Through this work we are building relationships that can continue beyond individual projects — creating opportunities for knowledge exchange, professional development, new artistic work and greater visibility for learning-disabled artists internationally.

Our international work is about connection, exchange and shared creative ambition.

It is about creating a dance landscape where learning-disabled artists can work across borders, build international networks and have their ideas recognised as an important part of the wider cultural conversation.
