Edinburgh Community Performing Arts

Edinburgh Community Performing Arts CIC is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company established in October 2021. We provide dance and performing arts opportunities for the benefit of the community.

Our Focus

The overarching focus of Edinburgh Community Performing Arts CIC is on equalities, diversity and inclusion. We aim to provide social opportunities through creative movement and dance activities targeted at individuals who may experience barriers to arts engagement.

Locations

We don't limit participation in our activities to people within certain locations. However, we actively seek to attract participants from deprived geographical areas within Edinburgh, including (for example): Sighhill, Stenhouse, Broomhouse and Drum Brae.

Demographics

Our primary focus is helping those people who have been adversely impacted due to the pandemic. In particular, older people who are experiencing social isolation, people who have neurological diseases or health conditions, adults and young people who have learning and/or physical disabilities, young people from challenging backgrounds, and those in extreme poverty.
