Abstract
A spectacular large scale, promenade performance taking place at this year’s Middlesbrough Mela.
HOME is a colourful promenade dance performance featuring people of all ages and abilities based around the concept of HOME.
Commissioned by Borderlands Creative People and Places and funded by Arts Council England, the project featured professional dancers alongside a community cast made up of people from across Middlesbrough.
People from Middlesbrough attended dance sessions in venues across the town; participated in creating site dressing including hundreds of beautifully crocheted flowers; created and dressed in costumes based around Middlesbrough’s iconic buildings and contributed their voices to the specially commissioned soundtrack.
I was the choreographer and artistic director of this work.
