In recent years Motionhouse has become a popular guest at outdoor festivals both within the UK and beyond. Our short shot of dance Chaser featured at festivals throughout summer 2007 including Greenwich + Docklands International Festival, Manchester x.trax and Lichfield Festival and the opening of the O2 Arena in London.
Chaser stays in our rep for 2008 and will be joined by Underground, our new festival piece commissioned by Fierce Festival, Birmingham Hippodrome and Without Walls. Bookings are being taken now for dates in 2008 and 2009.
This summer you can catch either Chaser or Underground at various festivals. Chaser started our summer season at the Norfolk & Norwich Festival on 10 May and Underground premiered at Brighton Festival on 18 May. So far we have visited Liverpool Streets Ahead, Fierce! festival in Birmingham, Manchester x.trax, Fuse Medway Festival, Canterbury Midsummer Madness and Dancing City as part of Greenwich + Docklands International Festival. The dancers will head to Italy next to perform Underground at
Festival Città delle Cento Scale (Prima edizione) in Potenza. The next performance in the UK will take place at the
Winchester Hat Fair on 5 July. Click here to see the full festival performance schedule.
