Fest en Fest opens this month from 22 – 27 November, presenting choreographic work within galleries for the first time since its inception.
H2DANCE present the programme for Fest en Fest – the international festival of expanded cho- reography that presents UK & Nordic artists working across dance, performance, writing and visual art.
Taking place across Cambridge, Colchester and Deptford in London from 22 – 27 November, Fest en Fest invites artists and audiences to come together for performances, discussions and social gatherings. For the first time since its inception, the festival will present work in galleries to question what happens when a cho- reographer works with clay, objects or paint, and uses the body as a canvas to present multi-art form work.
By presenting work within different spaces, Fest en Fest continues to question what choreography is; what it can be, how it can move, and how it moves other things. It further centres the process of choreography and its potential to create new ways to connect, alongside the opportunity to envision future models and ways of working.
Acclaimed for presenting a curious, eclectic and exciting programme, the 2022 festival includes film installa- tions, live performances, discursive lunches and round table discussions, with themes surrounding feminism, gender, horror, queer culture and sexuality.
