Dancing In The Square

Saturday 11th July 2009

Gillett Squared’s partnership with Barbican International Theatre Events (BITE) produced an extraordinary day of dance performance and participation, with over 2500 people watching and joining in.  This project was in development since 2008 and was curated through representing diverse dance forms and performance styles from locally-based performers alongside dance artists and musicians from across London and the U.K.
This event was supported by Hackney Council.
