Bodycurrents is a dance-based series of spectacular performance and development programmes that will inspire those participating in it and those who see it, to maintain and extend an interest in dance. This new dance project will catalyse and coordinate dance performances and development programmes in four Highland communities using a wide range of stimulating and imaginative opportunities.

The four Highland communities involved in the bodycurrents project are: Caithness, Skye & Lochalsh, Badenoch & Strathspey, and Lochaber. Each area will host a team of two Dance Catalysts, specialising in community dance, for a nine month residency. The Dance Catalysts, in consultation with the local communities, will develop a series of regular classes, workshops and training events in dance that will attract and appeal to a wide range of interests, ages, and abilities and will be inclusive at all levels.

Bodycurrents is a self-contained project but it is intended to leave a long lasting legacy to include: simulating an enduring interest and excitement for dance as participatory activity and new audiences for dance from within the four Highland communities and further afield; raising the profile and increasing membership of existing dance groups within the areas; encouraging and supporting the formation of new groups.
