Stories in Motion is a new creative programme developed in collaboration with Scottish Dance Theatre and ScrapAntics and starts on 21 January.

It is an inclusive 10-week multi-artform project. The programme is free to attend and designed to primarily engage and welcome New Scots 16+, while widening access to Dundee’s expressive arts sector.

Across the sessions, participants will explore personal stories through words, movement, music, and creative play. No prior experience is needed. We begin with language and storytelling, using conversation and reflection, and gently explore how these stories can be expressed through movement, always at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and accessible.

The programme offers a welcoming space for connection, confidence-building, and creative expression, while honouring each person’s lived experience and cultural background. We warmly welcome both male and female participants.

There is also the exciting potential for the group to contribute towards Scottish Dance Theatre’s end-of-year show, inspired by their 40th Anniversary Archive, with opportunities for involvement both onstage and behind the scenes.

Please find the Eventbrite link below, which include full details about the sessions, location, and how to take part:

The Dundee Deuces are a new, fun and inclusive tennis and pickleball club for LGBTQIA+ people and their allies.

Pickleball is a fun sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis. In Scotland, it is mostly played indoors on a badminton-sized court and a slightly modified tennis net. Usually played in doubles format, four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, over a net. We will provide paddles and balls for the session. You just need to show up in comfortable clothing for exercise and trainers. Sessions take place at St Paul’s Swim and Sports Centre
Gillburn Road, Dundee, DD3 0EH.
