Run, walk, pirouette – just get to the Festival of New Dance 2025

Continuing through the weekend, the Festival leaps and sours, entertains and amazes. So far audiences have seen solos, ensembles, duets, even a short film from Lynn Panting – so much on offer. Upcoming workshops and performances include African Rhythms and Melodies in Action – A Bodily Experience, with Aly Keita; a Dance Commute, guided by Vanessa Cardoso-Whelan; and the Vertical Dance with Cirque’letics, (pictured above).
