The Vertigo Project

Vertigo is an in-development strand of work that includes a commissioned dance film, community engagement sessions, and arts-led research. Alongside creating the film, we are contributing to a practice-based pedagogical framework for facilitating movement with people who experience vertigo and balance issues—grounded in lived experience, shaped through community sessions, and attentive to access.

This work is developed in collaboration with Dr Anindya Raychaudhuri and the University of St Andrews, as part of The Vertigo Project. Our contribution sits at the intersection of artistic practice, community engagement, and research: we bring South Asian-rooted movement approaches into dialogue with clinical and academic knowledge, and we build learning from the ground up through sessions with participants.

The Vertigo Project brings together a multi-disciplinary team of researchers, artists and clinical practitioners to produce creative and therapeutic resources to help support people with dizziness, vertigo and balance disorders.
