Join us at La Villette, Paris, in May 2024 for an extraordinary dance experience curated by The Place, London’s creative powerhouse for dance development! We are thrilled to bring you a captivating program that celebrates the talent, vitality, and diversity of the UK dance scene. Featuring five unique works, our showcase will dazzle you with incredible innovation and creativity, drawing inspiration from a variety of dance styles.

The event will be hosted by Jean-Daniel Brousse in both English and French, with a script co-written by Ben Duke. The show will introduce a generation of UK choreographers who draw from Hip-hop to Contemporary dance, Kathak and more.

Fresh from The Place will highlight Kesha Raithatha whose unique style combines North Indian dance with Contemporary dance; SAY, a dynamic duo who infuses the energy of music gigs into their choreographic work; and Jamaal Burkmar, who creates a dynamic fusion of music and movement to reimagine the formation of the universe. Additionally, Fresh from The Place will feature HAKU and Buddies Understood by students from London School of Contemporary Dance, Samara Langham, Jude Vero, and Elvi Rose Christiansen Head.

The British Council is supporting Fresh from The Place at La Villette.
