... uncompromising performance work with physical expression at its heart.
“I still dance. I still love dancing. I still need to dance. It’s somehow such an
everyday thing for me and yet I still find it extraordinary.
This, and all it brings me, is what I want to continue to share.”
Seeds have potential. They are smaller than what they will become. They push and find their way towards what they need to grow...different seeds have different patterns of growth…
Curious Seed is committed to exploring new ways of challenging and developing the scope of movement-based performance. We are passionate about the transformative possibilities of experiencing dance, theatre and art, through participating, creating or the observing of it. Our work is defined by the subtle way in which it reflects human experience by weaving together threads of narrative with the physical, the imagistic, and the poetic.

About Us
Who we are and what we do
Our vision is to contribute to the creation of a culture in which everyone feels free to express themselves, and there is a belief that anybody can dance, through shifting perceptions of what creativity can be and who the arts are for.
Award-winning performance company, Curious Seed, was formed in 2005 by Scottish choreographer, Christine Devaney. Based in Edinburgh, we produce and present compelling dance theatre work that questions the world we live in; work which touches and moves people, unlocking new ways of experiencing and feeling something different about the world.
We collaborate with exceptional artists - musicians, actors, dancers, designers and video makers - to create emotionally charged performances that reach across ages and artforms, always bringing something unique to the dance landscape of Scotland. Our work has been presented across the globe from Milan to Macao, New Zealand to Norway, appearing at prestigious international festivals and venues from Sadler’s Wells to Sydney Opera House.
Our work is researched, developed, and managed by a small core team. We collaborate with many other partners and organisations at home and abroad to create, produce and share our projects and performances.
