Charlie George

During Open School East’s pilot year, Charlie has continued her work as a dance artist, while also working with young people in Tottenham and dementia sufferers in Bethnal Green. She has also continued to run her non-profit dance company Dark Island Dance, which is currently working towards a full length dance and music project for 2015, using experiences and issues related to mental health.
Charlie has also facilitated events with her group The Femmes Fatales, a collective of 5 female artists who masquerade as a riot grrl punk band in pursuit of uncovering their own and wider contemporary feminist rebellion. In March 2014 they hosted Feminist Feast, a provocative, playful evening of food and feminist discussion. The group also produced their first full-length event ‘XXXY?’ at the Yard Theatre in April, and will be touring this work in autumn/winter 2014.
