MAKE YOUR
OWN POSTCARD
"Inspiring, such a high standard and to have it right here in front of us."
"So lovely, wonderful....taking the audience on a journey, a privilege to see it."
Quotes taken from Sterts Theatre Dance Discovery event audience members.

creative but not a dancer?
If you are a musician, writer, film-maker or artist there are many opportunities to be a part of the Physical Postcards.
Simply get in touch with your name and the art form you work in, where you are based and how you would like to get involved. For example you might be interested in creating some music to accompany a danced message, or simply a musical postcard which links to a landscape but doesn’t feature dance. Perhaps you lead an arts group and are keen to get some ideas as to how you can explore the theme of Physical Postcards; maybe you are interested in collaborating with a dancer as a film-maker, writer or costume designer.
