About the show
A spectacular large scale, promenade performance. by Tees Dance.
The colourful spectacle features people of all ages and abilities and incorporate dance, music, costume and site décor all based around the concept of HOME.
Commissioned by Borderlands Creative People and Places and funded by Arts Council England, the project features professional dancers alongside a community cast made up of people from across Middlesbrough.
Many attended dance sessions in venues across the town; others participated in creating site dressing including hundreds of beautifully crocheted flowers; some dressed in costumes based around Middlesbrough’s iconic buildings and others contributed their voices to the specially commissioned soundtrack.
