a festival of making, learning, sharing and performance at The Place this July - September 

Summer House brings together artists and enthusiasts of all ages to form a creative community sharing in the dance created and performed at The Place.

The focal point of Summer House will be performances of acclaimed works by groundbreaking international companies and performers, each Thursday and Friday evening in The Place’s Robin Howard Dance Theatre. Summer House will also bring together participants in our programmes of professional choreographic research, Choreodrome, partipicants of all ability levels on our Summer Intensives course, and performers and audiences for the Touch Wood series of works-in-progress.
