Event Information
About this event
Taking place right on the seafront, Landance in Lyme is a special dance and poetry performance.
All are welcome at this free outside event starting below the Marine Theatre. The performance will move along the seafront exploring the effects of climate change on coastal communities such as West Dorset. The event also celebrates this exceptional stretch of Jurassic Coast, which is part of a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The project has been developed with choreographer Alessandro Marzotto Levy, City of Bristol poet Vanessa Kisuule, and established and emerging dance artists.
Landance animates outdoor spaces with engaging and atmospheric live dance performances.
Professional artists in dance, music and design develop the performances on site.
