introduction

DanceGRiST, SocialGRiST, DanceTheFramework and CreativeGRiST are collaborative projects undertaken by GRiST members by and for freelance creatives.

All projects have the same objective: to help raise the status and income of movement creatives, freelance creatives and those in related sectors. Membership is open to all and members can collaborate in teams to develop small sustainable incomes. Collaboration projects are often cross-sector, use Agile Scrum, and have learning and commercial components.

Projects supplement – and do not compete with – members’ own creative practices.
