Our Stomping Project is now coming to a close, and we are gearing up for the next stage in SpinDrift's adventure and Suzie West's role as Artistic Director. There is a write up, documentary and and full research report on the Stomping Ground page to this website, so please take a look.
Clay Walks project is being developed at the moment, which evolved the successful outcomes of Stomping Grounds research and community engagement and will continue to develop the capacity of SpinDrift to provide high quality partnership work, educational research and local creativity.

Collaboration with Situations and Ingri Fiksdal for The Tale SpinDrift have been working with Situations this August and September to create A Diorama of Shaolstone Tidal Pool with Norweigian choreographer and visual artist Ingrid Fiksdal. The installation was part of a massive community arts programme led by Situations and took in many visual arts and immersive performances for the public to experience as they journeyed around the Torbay coastline. Dancers Nadje Shaeffer, Lauren Pomfret, Suzie West, Hannah Saunders, Cathy Palmer and apprentices Caitlin Moore and Ellie Petherick Davies took part in the visual spectacle morphing into sequinned silhouettes, ghostly moving across the tidal pool at dusk.
