About Us



Analogue Ensemble was formed in August 2015 by Cathy Rogers and Joseph Dance to bring artists experimental film and sound events to Ramsgate pairing local and nationally renowned artists to present their work live. Quarterly events were held at the Ramsgate Music Hall showing work and discussion between audiences and artists including; Nicky Hamlyn, Ben Rowley, Cathy Rogers, Ruth Novaczek with Chantal Akerman, Joanna Jones, Vicky Smith, Bouche Bée and Deborah Humm. A commission followed in March 2017 for the Strangelove Festival, Folkestone showing work by Suky Best, Alex Jukes, Jennifer Nightingale and Jamie Jenkinson and 16mm film projections and live performance produced for the Whitstable Satellite, 2016.

Cathy Rogers, artist filmmaker, and programmer with an MPhil in experimental film (RCA), has shown work across London and the South East and delivered papers on expanded cinema at Canterbury Christ Church University, Goldsmiths, RCA and The Association of Art Historians Annual Conference. Joseph Dance has an MA in English Literature from the University of Cambridge where he co-coordinated a number of performance and experimental film events. Joseph is currently working as an archivist and is interested in how archives can be used to engage audiences in the sphere of artists’ film.

For 2018 we embarked on a years' worth of screenings, discussion groups and workshops for 8 - 18 year olds, starting with an exhibition and associated events at University of Kent, School of Arts Studio 3 Gallery and a one night screening for Whitstable Biennale on 4th June. This activity was supported by, Arts Council England, University of Kent and Whitstable Biennale.

Since 2022 Cathy has been organising experimental artists film screenings in her studio in Ramsgate through invitation and an open call.  See the page on programme notes for more details.

Abstract Phone Filmmaking Workshop - The Movie

Thanks to all the young people that took part in the workshop last night at Pie Factory Ramsgate and of course Louise Webb who ran a really fun session. Here's a short film of the editing section of the workshop that the children produced from a snippet of Louise's film footage of a bus journey. I'll hope you'll agree they are some very talented young people who mostly had never used Premiere Pro before and completed this in about 20 minutes.  Well done Evie, Stuart and Ruby.
