Vision, mission and values
Corali’s vision is that people with a learning disability are recognised and valued for their equal place in the arts and society. By raising our national and international profile as a leader in dance created by people with a learning disability, we want to extend our influence, inspire more people and change perceptions of disability.
Corali’s mission is to empower people with a learning disability using dance, creativity and performance. Our aim is that everyone we work with will appreciate their potential and develop the skills to flourish as artists and individuals. We want to create new leadership models that enrich the organisation and inspire others.
Through our performance and film work we seek to profile the excellence of our artists with a learning disability and are committed to invest in their ongoing professional development. Through our engagement programme we seek to extend the reach and impact of our work for the wider community of children, young people and adults with a learning disability.
Corali’s values
Integrity: Our practice is guided by the talent and artistic input of our dancers with a learning disability and other collaborators. This methodology runs through all our work.
Ambition: We strive for excellence in all our performance and engagement work and seek exciting contexts in which to produce it. We support our artists to fully develop their skills, creativity and leadership potential.
Inclusion: We create a positive, safe and welcoming experience.
Collaboration: We develop strong, exciting, and long-term partnerships and explore how dance can fit with other artforms, events and situations.
