Newcastle Dance Collective - Live Rhythms - Conscious Movement and dance

Our collective of experienced musicians love to come together to play improvised music for our Live Rhythms dance session. We offer a guided warm up followed by uninterrupted music that builds in energy and a relaxation to finish our session. We bring a wide range of instruments including West African drums, handpans, cello, piano and keyboards, guitar trumpet, saxaphone, gongs and voices

A note on community support

Live Rhythms is held by a team musicians who create rich, multi-layered soundscapes using high‑quality instruments, years of training, and a huge amount of heart. Creating this experience involves significant time, energy, and equipment — and your contribution genuinely helps sustain it.

We’re committed to keeping this space accessible, so our sliding scale remains.
If you’re in a position to pay the higher tier, you help to:

• fairly compensate the musicians
• maintain and invest in new equpment and instruments
• keep concession tickets available
• continue offering a powerful, inclusive community space

Thank you for valuing what we create together.
