London's international dance festival, taking place across the capital and online.
Every year our festival ignites London and online with the next generation of trailblazing artists. Since 1978, we have been an international home for dance across a global city, presenting more than 1,000 artists from 45 countries to over one million people. We have brought outstanding dance to more than 145 venues throughout London; from the high-profile stages of Sadler’s Wells, Southbank Centre and Barbican to local arts centres - and taking in the more unexpected locations of canal boats, ice rinks and carpark rooftops in between.
Since 2020, we have also given online audiences the chance to experience the festival through a curated programme including dance films and artist encounters.

Saw this live at Stanford in December and I'm still talking about it and looking for videos to demonstrate what a masterpiece Transverse is. Would see this again and again. Esthetics, allegories, beauty, emotions, vulnerability, expression, the birth... Mesmerizing, shockingly beautiful, transforming,
Zoom as a room. Zoom space as home place. When you speak of architecture and dance, I think of Gaston Bachelard and The Poetics of Space. You might like some of the ideas in that book for your dance theater choreography.
