For one day only The Place is taken over by an explosion of dance performances and workshops selected especially for families. The day features the riotous The Buildy-Uppy Dance Show - an ever-changing playground constructed and inhabited by the audience - and the uplifting Tidy Up, a play of chaos and order finding out if they can ever live side-by-side. Audiences can also take part in bespoke workshops to help give inspiration to artists from The Place; help Igor & Moreno rethink their hit show by jumping with them and Protein Dance get inspiration for their new show, The Little Prince, learn to breakdance, and Romp & Roll to some great music and much more.
Lia Prentaki, Youth and Families Producer at The Place says "This festival has a special focus for us, it is a simple one really: to help families make memories, create snapshots together and to do that by watching, doing and experiencing dance."
The Place is one of Europe's most exciting, innovative dance spaces, where dance makers from all over the world come to be creative, to experiment and to perform outstanding new work for audiences who expect to be surprised, inspired and delighted. The Place is home to London Contemporary Dance School, Richard Alston Dance Company, a 280 seat theatre, an extensive range of classes, courses and participatory opportunities for adults and young people, and professional development programmes..
