Hare-raising News from Dada-South!
Dada-South starts the new year proud to announce that we will be changing our name to Ardent Hare. That's right! Ardent Hare! 
The launch of our new name and brand on 1st February 2012 will be the culmination of 18 months development work in repositioning and rebranding Dada-South to better reflect the artists with whom we work to facilitate their successes and our own strategic direction.
We've chosen the word ‘ardent' because it is hardwired to ideas of intensity, zealousness, fierceness and eagerness - all of which echo our passion for what we do. The hare is a symbol of renaissance, rebirth, regeneration, transformation, enlightenment and madness! The ancient Egyptian hieroglyph - a picture of a hare - means ‘to be' and is associated with creation. Hare people are considered to be very artistic and we all know that hares are dynamic, quick movers. Read more
Dada-South's vision is to create a vibrant community of imaginative, confident and creative people contributing to a fairer, more inspiring world.
Dada-South's mission is to stimulate the best creative experience led by disabled, Deaf and other artists that acts as a catalyst for transformational thinking and doing, both regionally and nationally.
