Urban Moves International Dance Festival

Urban Moves International Dance Festival 08 Friday 25th to Sunday 27th July, Manchester UK

Don’t miss the opportunity to register as a delegate for this years Urban Moves International Dance Festival in Manchester.
 
As well as the chance to see some of the best outdoor dance from Spain, France and the UK, we are also inviting programmers, promoters and arts professionals to meet and network with others working in the sector from across the UK and internationally.

In addition to the performance programme (details of which are below) on Saturday morning there will be a panel discussion about “the opportunities and challenges in creating and presenting  outdoor dance” followed by presentations from a number of leading UK artists who are not presenting work in the programme. The line up is still being confirmed but will include Darren Pritchard, from Company Fierce Dance Theatre, whose new work Gulliver’s Boom Box is touring the UK at the moment, and Place Prize winning organisation Srishti, whose outdoor shows Quick! and Bend It are on tour at the moment. Attending the panel discussion will be Fabrice Guillot, of Retouramont, giving a unique insight into the company’s pioneering approach to exploring the relationship between dance and architecture.
