“This sounds like dance with a difference. Using the vast expanse of Battersea Arts Centre with its maze of corridors and hidden spaces as well as the glorious Grand Hall, James Cousins and his cast of 70 performers lead the audience a merry dance up staircases, through secret rooms in a large-scale immersive dance piece. It ends with a vast after party in which everyone gets to dance together. There is text by Sabrina Mahfouz and music that runs from classical to grime in a piece considering how we connect and build the future together.”
