The Place opened its doors while the 1960s were still swinging, as a venue for the creative and the curious to make new discoveries in dance and other art forms. There were many different types of performance: some were called shows, others concerts or recitals, many simply “happenings”.
Something Happening celebrates the spirit of artistic exploration that was at the heart of The Place when it was founded, and which remains at its heart today. It brings together the artists for whom The Place is a home – established and emerging choreographers and dancers, students, young people – to make things happen throughout the building.
In the theatre, in studios and specially-configured spaces, in the windows and on the walls, in corridors and in cupboards, they’ll be opportunities to share in the vibrant, diverse, experimental and exciting dance that is created at The Place.
The weekend is divided into five sessions so you can book to see some specific performances, and simply happen upon others.
