Over the past 2 years Caroline has been working as an artist consultant with Skånes Dansteater, Sweden increasing their thinking and capacity in relation to accessibility and inclusivity. She has also had an ongoing advisory role as part of British Council’s Unlimited Access project which brings together artists and arts organisations from Greece, Portugal and the UK. In Caroline’s experience, effective collaborations and lasting change takes time to build. She is interested in supporting organisations, and countries, to realise possibilities, increase capacity and confidence in existing staff teams and artistic communities and develop strategic thinking around equality in the arts.

DIALOGUE
Accessability, participation and knowledge!
The purpose of Project Dialogue is to complement Skånes Dansteater's artistic programe with a wide array of activities and programming aimed towards a broad spectrum of groups. These activities are developed by the theatre as well as in collaboration with members of the surrounding community in order to develop new methods to meet the needs, interests and wishes related to making dance more accessible as an artform.
I will be based with Skånes Dansteater from 7th April to 29th June 2015.

Invisible Difference - Dance, Disability and the Law
The InVisible Difference project seeks to extend current thinking that surrounds the making, status, ownership and value of work by contemporary dance choreographers. We are researchers from two different disciplines – dance and law – and our primary focus is on dance made and performed by disabled dance artists asking what is it in existing theoretical and legal frameworks that helps or hinders the participation of disabled dance artists in the mainstream?
