**What the charity does:** 21Common are an arts charity based in Glasgow who use Social Practice (a collaborative, community-focused art form) to ignite social change. We create spectacular experiences that consistently challenge the traditional ideas of who can be an artist by amplifying those most under-represented in that role. In the past 7 years we have produced 9 new dance works for public presentation. 27 school and community collaborations and 21 national and international touring engagements. Accessibility is central to our work, recognising intersectionality / complexity. We create exceptional art outside of the accepted, giving those with the least power an agency within the artistic process
