Nexus Dance is a collaboration between music, dance and visual art, formed in 2009 and based in London. Their process has a strong emphasis on how it is experienced by the dancers, aiming to create a space in which individual expression and development is a natural part of the whole. Conceptually, their work is focused around the connections between different people's communications of internal experience within a common framework.

The project aims to give people a chance to develop their own voice through dance. We will be working with each person involved to find different influences based on someone or something that has impacted on them as dancers. These ideas create the basis for each piece.
