Sara Carter - Dance Artist​​

Sara has spent the last 14 years creating, collaborating and performing in dance work, her interest is in the body's capacity to communicate and her approach is investigative by nature... ​​​

​She is passionate about working/performing in a variety of different contexts, exploring how that context informs the dance and, in turn, how the the dance then shapes the space and the experience of the audience. As well as working in theatre, gallery and education spaces, Sara has also worked in less conventional venues (such as mills and temporary structures) and also out in the landscape: from woodlands to cliffs, from moorland to the space where the sand meets the sea.

​Sara has collaborated with renowned musicians to create both video/film and live work, often working with a combination of choreographed and improvised material to enhance the immediacy of live performance. ​

Her past work has ranged from small intimate pieces, to much larger, more complex insulations, often working with live music, and sometimes with the spoken word. Sara works with other professional performers, but also with those who have little or no formal dance training - she loves creating work with the unique freshness that an untrained dancer can bring.

​Sara has performed at venues across the UK, including The Roundhouse in London and the London Remixed Festival, Manchester's Green Room and Contact Theatre, The Yorkshire Dance Centre in Leeds and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.

She has toured and performed with Keltrix all over the UK at various festivals and venues (including The Junction in Cambridge and Bestival on the Isle of White), and has made work and performed with Bharatanatyam dancer Shrikant Subramaniam and Kala Sangham (a leading south Asian arts and culture organisation). ​

For more than a decade, Sara has also worked at many festivals creating and performing in new and site specific work.
