"We sensed their uniqueness and multiplicity, as well as their common humanity. It was revelatory - like being shown both a wood and its trees."

THE GUARDIAN

Dance Umbrella 2009 featured Common Dance, a large-scale work by one of Britain’s leading choreographers, Rosemary Lee. This bold production brought together 50 professional and non professional dancers from across generations, a choir of 70 young people from Finchley Children’s Music Group and a specially commissioned score by Terry Mann.

Common Dance was performed to six sold out houses and many were disappointed to have missed out on this uplifting and poignant work. The beautifully shot and edited film offers audiences the chance to experience the very essence of the live performance.

The screening will be introduced by Rosemary Lee.

Common Dance was co-commissioned and presented by Dance Umbrella and Greenwich Dance in association with Artsadmin.
