Fallen Angels Dance Theatre provides exceptional dance theatre experiences for people in recovery from addiction where they are accepted, valued, and reach their potential. We have been instrumental in supporting over 500 individuals through our participatory workshops. We support people in the NW in recovery from addiction to transform their lives and share the recovery journey with the wider public through dance, performance, and creativity. Fallen Angels Dance Theatre (FADT) is led by Artistic Director Paul Bayes Kitcher and Claire Morris, Creative and Strategic Director. Paul’s lived experience of addiction and recovery encapsulates the complex barriers that those in recovery face, including mental health issues, disability, and neurodiversity. We provide a structured pathway to enhance recovery through creative activities that promote well-being and inclusion in the recovery process.
Participants are at the heart of our work, sharing their stories in our R&D process, developing dance skills in our workshop programme, and for some, auditioning and performing in our professional company, showing how creative intervention can make positive and lasting change in recovery from addiction. We do not distinguish between professional and recovery dance practice at FADT. This means that there is no hierarchical value between our participatory and performance programmes and that all co-creators are equal in our creative process. We are a company in residence at Storyhouse, Chester, and are executive members of Dance Consortia North West.
In recent years, we have developed from a small, project-funded collaboration to an organisation delivering dance and movement recovery workshops across 3 major NW areas. With a core team of 5 employees and a number of freelancer Associate artists for our creative projects, we have increased provision to our vulnerable communities, provided mental health support for our participants and team, delivered ambitious creative projects, and conducted a major organisational development process through funding from Arts Council England’s (ACE) Elevate programme.
