HOST | Performance & Film Showcases

Tue 5 May

£12

HOST is back; bigger, bolder and bursting with movement!

Now in its fifth year, this vibrant biennial celebration of dance and age, co-produced with EncoreEast, lights up DanceEast with a dynamic dance and creative exchange.

The afternoon and evening showcases will shine a spotlight on film and live performance work produced and created by companies of older dancers from across the UK and beyond.

Tickets for these showcases are included in the cost of a HOST day ticket, so please only purchase this type of ticket if you want to watch the afternoon or evening showcases only.

Please note, each showcase will feature a different programme of live performances and film. If you are booking to watch a particular dancer/company, please check first with the dancer/company to confirm which showcase they are performing in.
