Jones the Dance aims to challenge who gets to experience dance and who gets to make it.
We bring dance to unexpected places and to be experienced in unexpected ways.
We started as Gwyn Emberton Dance but changed our name to Jones the Dance when we realised that with each project we were trying to build a community and not just making work, even if it that community was for one night, one performance or one workshop through to year long projects.
Choreographer and dancer Gwyn Emberton, who is now the Artistic Director, and Kate Perridge our Executive Producer, founded the company in 2015 and since we started, we have made and toured theatre productions, made an immersive film, created youth dance projects for young Deaf people and young people who are rurally isolated in mid Wales. We collaborate with dancers, artists, creatives and communities on each project in Wales or internationally.
