Our Hands by Vicky Malin
We have invited local dance artist Vicky Malin to share her conversational work, Our Hands. It is a gentle conversation that explores the stories, possibilities and perceptions of our hands - what feels unique or connects us through gesture, doodles and words. Each conversation is 10-15 mins and can be enjoyed in small groups or individually. No need for advance booking.

Is this a Waste Land?
Bridgewater, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Presented by Sadler’s Wells
Set on an empty plot of land on the edge of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, this immersive performance invites us to re-imagine how we value our landscape, homes and communities.
As day dips towards night you’re given headphones and offered instructions amidst a constantly shifting soundscape that is delicate and thoughtful one moment, infectious and playful the next. Many worlds are created, destroyed and re-purposed in a generous playground built by everyone.

Walking Stories
We are delighted to be presenting Walking Stories at Hauser and Wirth, Somerset in conjunction with the opening of their Eduardo Chillida exhibition.
You don’t come to watch Walking Stories: you live it, breathe it, build and dismantle it. Supplied with an mp3 player and headphones, a walk in the park amongst open-air sculptures becomes an interactive and absorbing audio journey. Moving between watching, listening and following instructions, Walking Stories takes you on a journey with yourself and your companions. Following the past year of separation and isolation, ‘Walking Stories’ helps us celebrate being together again.
Performances will be at 11.30am, 1.30pm and 4pm.
Tickets are Free but advance booking is essential.
