CONTEXT

In 2019, Grand Visionary Solutions was commissioned by Zannah Chisholm, former Artistic Director CEO of Pavilion Dance South West, to create #SWDancing - a campaign to raise awareness of the work of dance artists & companies associated with the South West region of England, who have work that is ready and available to tour regionally, nationally and internationally.

As part of the campaign a website was created and populated - www.swdancing.co.uk - The dance artists & companies on that site are self-selected, which means that they chose to be part of the campaign.

In addition to the website, social media platforms were created and leading up to the Surf The Wave event in May 2019, each artist was profiled across the platforms, using the #swdancing. Post pandemic, Grand Visionary Solutions, with the blessing of Pavilion Dance South West, decided to develop the concept of #SWDancing and create and launch a national campaign #DanceOnTourUK
