AllWelcome to the Spring / Summer Season 2015
Spring is all about the new, so it is the right time of year to introduce fresh artists and new work to the DanceHouse. DanceEast’s One Night Stand programme of work is making a comeback, and true to its nature will bring the best new work by the best new dance companies for one night only.
This season we will be presenting a range of work from, and by, young people and the local community. One of the most exciting projects this spring is the Move | Be Moved Festival. This week-long dance festival is a community takeover and will include shows suitable for families, taster sessions, schools and youth performances and much more.
