Dance Umbrella

Dance Umbrella returns to the Unicorn for a second year, taking over the building for a weekend of classes, short performances and talks. Before each performance there will be a choice of workshops to take part in, followed by international companies sharing selected excerpts of their work, and then talking with the audience about why and how they create their choreography.

Come and take part in whichever way suits best – doing, watching, listening, talking.
