About company
Over the last seven years, Dash Arts has played to audiences of over 280,000 in the UK and internationally, worked with 1800 artists and 3743 people in 8 participation programmes, raised more than £3.8m in commissions and financial support, and co-produced with partners including the RSC, Sadler’s Wells, the Roundhouse, Luminato Festival Toronto, and the British Council. In 2005 Dash Arts launched with a season of contemporary work from the Middle East, the US and Europe. In 2006 Dash Arts created an epic pan-Indian production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, commissioned by the British Council which toured the world throughout 2007 and 2008. In 2009, we began the Arabic Series: we presented a series of new commissions in theatre, music and dance with artists from the Arabic World over 2010-2011. In 2012, we have set off on our next big adventure: new projects involving theatre, music, dance and visual art with artists from the countries of the former Soviet Union.
