Grounding in the Common
We are Common Grounding: a new arts organisation which seeks to create and support community-rooted, participatory and embodied movement work across the Kent coast. Rooted in Folkestone and Margate, we are motivated by the richness and urgency our borderlands surroundings can bring to moving, dancing and community-making practices of all kinds.

embedding in locality
centring the margins
questioning through doing
playing in grey areas
excusing our wordfinding
perceiving our unruliness
rooting in embodied practice
grounding in the common
