CONTACT US

At Pickle Factory, we thrive on building connections with those within the dance & movement world or those who’re ‘dance-curious’.

If you’re someone who’s inclined towards the Arts (writer, visual artist, sculpture maker, voracious reader, musician, a student studying cultural studies, filmmaker, architect or none of these and just want to have tea & chat) we’d love to hear from you!

We’ve spread our tentacles in the ether far and wide!
