Working in partnership with the Rural Touring Dance Initiative, we wanted to make sure we could continue to bring high-quality professional dance to our audiences during the coronavirus pandemic. Throughout October the Rural Touring Dance Initiative is going digital, and will be bringing you three fantastic filmed dance shows followed by an opportunity for you to speak to the artists in a series of Q&A Zoom calls. Each show will be available to watch for free for a week, and you will need to book a free place in advance to attend any of the zoom calls.
9-15th October | Luca Silvestrini’s Protein – Border Tales
Protein’s May Contain Food and The Little Prince have been adapted for smaller venues and have toured extensively to rural venues with the Rural Touring Dance Initiative.
In order to support artists in these difficult times, Protein will be passing the broadcast fee directly to the dancers in the show.
