About South Asian Dance Equity (SADE)
South Asian Dance Equity (SADE): The Arts That British South Asian Dance Ignores’ is an Arts and Humanities Research Council funded Dance Research Matters network grant.
SADE examines systemic inequities within the British South Asian dance sector, focusing on five key minoritisations and their intersections: India/Hinducentrism; cisgenderism and heteronormativity; casteism; ableism; and the invisibilisation of Adivasi, Indigenous, and "folk" performance cultures. Working with five British South Asian arts organisations - Akademi (London), Baithak (London), Balbir Singh Dance Company (Leeds), Nupur Arts (Leicester) and Sampad (Birmingham) as well as The Place (London) - as project partners, the network aims to build a more equitable dance sector through exchanges between artists and scholars from South Asia and the UK.
