Rooted in movement, research, and community - we make and support work that connects bodies to place.

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.

centring the margins

questioning through doing

playing in grey areas

excusing our wordfinding 

perceiving our unruliness 

rooting in embodied practice
