A community space I created for dance artists in Dublin. Bringing dancers and DJs together to practise, exchange and develop their craft.
01 / The storyBuilt around a need for space
IT STARTED
WITH A NEED
FOR SPACE.
While preparing for Red Bull BC One, I noticed how difficult it could be for independent artists in Dublin to find space they could use consistently to develop their craft and prepare for major events.
Mash House Studio made me their artist in residence and gave me space to develop my own practice. That support also made it possible to create a community space in Dublin.
Anblocc grew from that opportunity: a place for dancers and DJs to come together, practise and exchange. It has brought together consistent practice sessions for Dublin’s street dance community, alongside a community battle.
