Award-winning performance company, Curious Seed, was formed in 2005 by Scottish choreographer, Christine Devaney.  Based in Edinburgh, we produce and present compelling, dance theatre work that questions the world we live in; work which touches and moves people, unlocking new ways of experiencing and feeling something different about the world.

Committed to exploring new ways of challenging and developing the scope of movement-based performance, we are passionate about the transformative possibilities of experiencing dance, theatre and art, through participating, creating or the observing of it. Our work is defined by the subtle way in which it reflects human experience by weaving together threads of narrative with the physical, the imagistic, and the poetic.  We collaborate with artists and theatre makers to create emotionally charged performances that reach across ages and art forms, and to bring something unique to the dance landscape of Scotland.  Our work is researched, developed, and managed by a small core team of people.  We collaborate with many other partners and organisations at home and abroad to create, produce and share our projects and performances.

During this residency, we are taking time to look to the future – creating space to interrogate and reimagine Curious Seed’s vision.  We will undertake a series of sessions to reflect on, and explore, our working practices and our contribution to a performing arts ecology in Scotland, as we move forward into a post-pandemic future.
