Sanctuary on the Fault Lines

A network of outdoor dances by professional female dancers.  

Find dances near you in the listings below. Dances crop up in your neighbourhoods, sometimes regularly, across Europe and the UK.  

FaultLines is a network of passionate, courageous female performers with something to say. They lead you into the wild spaces of your neighbourhoods, they lift you and ground you with intimate dances that remind you what freedom, courage, grace and the power of vulnerability are. Performers share what is cooking for them right now in their bodies, their lives and their gift of the dance, and in womanhood.

These dances will move you, and be balm for contemporary life.

Led by dancers, dances are spatially aware events, holding life and health with ease and care. Wrap up warm, allow space between you, bring flasks of tea. We trust that ‘local authorities’ will find us, condone us and support us in this grassroots offering. 

If you come and are moved to support the dancer you see, please do. There is a link in each dancer's listing to make a financial offering to her.

See you in the wild.

FaultLines was founded and is cared for by dancer Hayley J S Matthews. Female dancers can join the network by emailing their details to Hayley.  Read More
