Yorkshire Dance is delighted to announce that this year’s Juncture festival will be curated by artist Gillie Kleiman.
Gillie has selected works – most made with non-professional performers – to be staged in a range of venues around Leeds from 25 – 30 October.
The artists and companies taking part include Quarantine, Nicola Conibere, Sara Lindström, Lucy Suggate, immigrants and animals and Fitzgerald & Stapleton.
Gillie explains her artistic intent for Juncture 2016:
“The community dance movement, folk dance, YouTube dance classes and Strictly all tell us the same thing: everybody dances. Departing from here, this edition of Juncture collects together artworks where the role of the professional dancer is given to someone else, bringing artists, participants and their shared work into conversation about what happens when the dancing is handed over.”
