We provide artistic experiences, research and development opportunities. We're q***r, we're atypical, we're polygeneous, we're complex, we're warm, and we stand for the environment, for community and for nature; the nature within us, our minds, our bodies, our spirits, and surrounding us, our waters, our forests, our cities, our countries, our worlds. Weird Nest was established to enable the creat
ion/promotion of new works, arts teaching methods and artistic experiences under a leadership that includes artists living with neurological disability. Since their establishment the company has trended towards three streams;
Research - of inclusive practice, inclusive arts andragogy and pedagogy. Development - skills, knowledge, new works and new operational models that are inclusive and responsive. Presentation - of new works we develop of contemporary performance, sound and text-based work. The company consolidates a diverse artistic community led by senior choreographer/contemporary performance artist Dean Walsh, supported by co-director composer/contemporary performance artist Andrew Batt-Rawden. We partner with presenters, local councils, other arts companies, residency providers, venue providers and supportive businesses interested in promoting an environmentally conscious inclusive future.
