'Freestylers made a film last year. We ask ourselves where does confidence come from? What are Freestylers all about? How do we manage loss, and how do we make changes? We are on a journey together making more and more connections.'
Roland Carline - Freestylers director
Freestylers are an ever-expanding team of artists. Person-centred and disability-led, their work is about listening and learning from each other. The Freestylers team have longstanding creative relationships built on care, support and trust.
They use performance and film to look for new and inclusive ways to communicate. They work in gallery spaces in the context of performance art, and want their spaces to feel relaxed and intimate. They want audiences to be able to come and go, shout and make noise, and to join in when they want to.
