Whats on This Spring At Chisenhale

True to its roots Chisenhale Dance Space continues to challenge perceptions and understandings of what dance and performance can be.

OPENLAB is a model for professional self-development for performers. The model was developed by Antonio de la Fe and its frame of work revolves around a basic question: “what does to perform entail?”

OPENLAB sessions are fluid: always changing, always open to dialogue within the group. These sessions are carried out by a constantly changing group of people and any person can join in at any time.
