Join us for an afternoon of dance performance and conversation as we celebrate the end of our first season touring pop up dance across Dumfries and Galloway.

The event will include a performance of Matthew Hawkin's Triple Echo, Bridie Gane's Passepied, sharing excerpts from new screendance research with Emma Dove inspired by Emma Jayne Park's touring performance And Now We Unravel, Again, and a performance of Louise Ahl's newly premiered work heartbeats, fresh air, gestures, time. This will be followed by an open conversation with lead artist Emma Jayne Park, and company dancers Claire Pencak, Jorja Follina and Malcolm Sutherland.

Together we will celebrate dance made in Dumfries and Galloway, as well as discussing the potential, pitfalls and power of touring pop up dance across the region. If you are a DG resident interested in or curious about dance then this is for you!
