It has been a joy, pleasure, and privilege to invite such incredible artists and their work to this year’s Fest en Fest. We’ve loved every minute, from performances and talks to late hangouts, sharing the festival, and experiencing the work together with audiences in Brighton, London, and Colchester.
Like many independent initiatives, we’ve faced challenges, especially around funding. In a world shaped by uncertainty, where many people can’t move freely, gather, or live safely, returning this year with renewed support and a shared commitment to connect felt more meaningful than ever.
Thank you to all the artists and teams who brought such exciting work, and to the audiences who came, watched, shared thoughts, joined discussions, and spent time with us. Your curiosity, generosity, and commitment to experimentation are the heart of Fest en Fest.
Special love to the cohort, your presence all week gave us the energy to keep going.
This project is about sharing expanded choreographic practices, but also about gathering, exchanging, and thinking together with care and critique, building structures that last beyond the festival days.
Huge thanks to our producer, —we couldn’t have done this without you.
