Stopgap Dance Company is led by a diverse creative team of Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent people who use dance as a movement for change. Having worked together on a new website to better reflect their mission and values, HdK provided additional support in the development and delivery of a number of key social media campaigns.

The project

HdK were briefed by Stopgap’s Communications Manager to create and deliver social media campaigns to generate awareness and engagement for three initiatives: Open Dialogo, a cultural exchange between Disabled and non-disabled artists; Future Leaders, a leadership development opportunity for Deaf, Disabled and neurodivergent mid-career arts professionals; and Creative Tank, a three-day inclusive movement intensive.

The process

As well as planning the campaigns, we wrote captions including visual asset descriptions and targeted hashtags, created still graphics and short form video content from Stopgap’s existing photography and footage, and scheduled posts for Instagram and Facebook using Meta Business Suite.
