an up projects production
May – September ‘10
Taking place inside a mobile pavilion, the Big Dance Bubble: Portavilion programme will bring a range of dance performances, workshops and open stage dance jams produced by the five hub’s East London Dance, English National Ballet, Greenwich Dance Agency, Sadler’s Wells and Siobhan Davies Dance as part of the T-Mobile Big Dance. These events will take place in a variety of London’s green spaces including Potters Fields Park, the grounds of Eltham Palace and Bruce Castle (May – July 2010).
Portavilion Curator, Emma Underhill said:
“The pavilion’s mobility and flexibility will enable us to take the work of a broad range of cultural organisations out of the museum, theatre or performance space and into some of the city’s most treasured green-spaces in an innovative and accessible way”
The Big Dance Bubble has been designed by German Art & Architecture collective Raumlabor-Berlin. Commissioned and produced by up projects for Portavilion; an ongoing series of artist designed pavilions; this mobile, bubble-shaped pavilion will tour the capital from May to September, transforming parks and green spaces and playing host to a dynamic programme of events.
