Janice Parker is a Scottish based multi-disciplinary dance-artist and choreographer, known for her inclusive, collaborative and responsive approach to movement and dance. In a career spanning almost 50 years Parker has created projects that challenge conventional ideas of who can dance and what dance can be. Her practice is deeply rooted in social engagement and structural inequalities, often addressing themes of identity, inclusion, and human connection.

Working locally and internationally she crosses art-forms and genres, time and scale, and has featured in theatres, galleries, public and private spaces, both conventional and unconventional. Parker blends artistic experimentation and community collaboration to create live work, film, written-word, events and installation. She also regularly directs movement for theatre, teaches, lectures, hosts, mentors’ younger artists and has recently started to perform.
