Mid Autumn Dances: Fallen leaves and Harvest Moons

Be part of something special and start the mid-autumn festival with dance workshops led by contemporary choreographer and dance artist Quang Kien Van.

We are seeking 40 participants to develop a new piece of original work inspired by the mid-autumn festival and the experiences of the participants themselves.

Join us for four workshops and a series of final performances that will demonstrate the creative power of communities through dance. All workshops, rehearsals and final performances will be held at China Exchange.

The workshops will be held on:

Tuesday 25th September 6pm - 7pm

Wednesday 26th September 6pm - 7pm

Tuesday 2nd October 6.30pm - 7.30pm

Wednesday 3rd October 6.30pm - 7.30pm

Tuesday 9th October 6pm - 7pm

Wednesday 10th October 6pm - 7pm

Tuesday 16th October 6pm - 7pm

Wednesday 17th October 6pm - 7pm

Please only register your interest for either a Tuesday or Wednesday session, not both (If you register for a Tuesday, you should come to all the Tuesday sessions. If you register for a Wednesday, you should come to all the Wednesday sessions).

Please click on the dates to book.

The performances will be held on Thursday 18th and Friday 19th October. Those taking part in the Tuesday session will perform on Thursday 18th and those in the Wednesday session will perform on Friday 19th October.

The sessions will be led in English and are open to all. No dance experience is required and we encourage those over 50 to take part. It is free to take part in the project but – as places are limited – we need a minimum commitment of 4 sessions and 1 performance.

Free admission.
