Debi Hedderwick

Artist Statement

I am a dance artist working with children, young people, adults, in every variety of community and education setting, specialising in collaborative dance theatre production, and work with people with additional and complex needs. To celebrate 26 years of dance theatre production, creative learning and participatory performing arts work in Derbyshire through Learning Through Arts (including Wirksworth INdependDANCE, Moving Experience, The Secret Dance Club) this retrospective exhibition uses still and moving image, costumes, props, talks and dance activity to tell the story of this unique artistic journey, and celebrate all the wonderful people who’ve been a part of it.
