IN.CONVERSATION enables us to stay active in the dance discourse. In 2023 we invite a curator to host our annual offering of facilitated conversations for the sector. These activities allow us to invite the wider sector and our audience into our performance home to discover, discuss and debate themes currently driving and disrupting our dance community.
