Body as Data Project
https://www.thebodyasdataproject.com/
Choreographing evidence of an alternative border.
Spreading through Margate, Dover and Folkestone. BaD centres lived experiences of displacement, migration and resistance through collaborative site-specific performance. Working across the coast, the project explores embodied mapping - transforming landscapes marked by surveillance and exclusion into spaces of agency, memory, and belonging. Through workshops, a public mapping event, and a living digital archive, The Body as Data 2025 invites communities to create a multilayered migration map of the Kent coast.

Extraordinary Bodies Community Film
"Working with the communities is how we can really make change. It is some of the most joyful work we do. During the pandemic, we developed a short film made with communities called 'Human', which adds to the themes in our live show Human. We created it together with the Extraordinary Bodies creative team, our international network of circus artists, communities from Plymouth, Rochdale and Poole, and with help from biggerhouse film".
