Follow Through Collective is a queer, female-led group creating multidisciplinary performance through dance, participation, and sensory experience. We are interested in how movement can bring people together, forming temporary micro-communities that reflect on our relationship to each other and to the environment. Our work often engages with ecological thinking, asking how we can feel more connected to the natural world through embodied, shared experiences.
We create performances with and for communities, with a strong focus on children and intergenerational audiences. Our process is collaborative and responsive, often shaped through improvisation and non-verbal communication. When working with children, we prioritise listening and allowing their curiosity and ways of moving to guide the development of the work. This leads to performances that are open, sensory and grounded in exploration rather than instruction.
Alongside this, we develop projects with a range of communities, including older adults and people living with chronic pain. These works explore touch and connection, sometimes using audio-recordings, film and movement to create alternative ways of experiencing closeness where physical contact may be complex or inaccessible.
Across all of our work, we aim to create bold, immersive experiences that invite audiences to engage actively, gently shifting expectations around performance and creating space for connection and shared imagination.
Members of the Collective
Follow Through Collective works through a collaborative and adaptive leadership model. The work is led by Greta Gauhe as Artistic Director and choreographer, shaping the overall artistic vision, while creative decisions are developed collectively with the artists involved in each project. This shared approach allows the work to be responsive, interdisciplinary, and rooted in exchange.
The Collective is produced by Callum Holt, supporting the development and delivery of projects.
We collaborate with a wide range of artists across disciplines, and the Collective exists through these ongoing contributions. Not all collaborators are listed below. If you would like to know more about a specific artist or project, please feel free to get in touch.
