A note from Artistic Director Antony Hamilton
Chunky Move champions the spirit of artistic adventure. We believe imagination and creativity will always be the most important tools in the continued journey of humanity. Art is the universal language that connects us to each other’s dreams, ideas and perspectives. Its pathos gives us empathy and its directness, astonishment. Art gives us the chance to imagine a future that we want to be a part of by holding a mirror up to the present, and ourselves within it. Chunky Move’s works reflect on the future as well as the endlessly complex and sometimes overwhelming contemporary experience. The collaborators we connect with always teach us something about this world, and often something we could never have learnt on our own. This reflection and learning is at the heart of our work. New experiences that are shared can give us a great appreciation for what brings us together in a complicated world where we can often feel disconnected. We invite you to connect with us in defiance of the disconnect that troubles us. We invite you to come on the artistic adventure of Chunky Move, to support an ambitious venture that places dance amongst the greatest virtues of our extraordinary global culture. By donating to the company you become part of our community and you become a collaborator to our vision. You can imagine and create the future you want to see, with the reverie of dance playing its pivotal role. What kind of future will we make together?
