Spontaneous Combustion Dance Festival

About

ARBEIT Gallery (off Old Street) will be hosting a dance photography exhibition this weekend (13th-14th July) as part of the free "Spontaneous Combustion" festival, held by not-for-profit arts organisation ARtCH, which will take place over four venues (including LSO St Lukes) in Islington. The exhibition will showcase four international artists all focusing on dance and movement-based art through their lens while exhibiting a different approach to capturing the human body and its movement. Participating artists: - Ludovic des Cognets - Laszlo Forras - Nuno Santos - Christopher Matthews Spontaneous Combustion is a one week festival organised by ARtCH with dance performances, workshops and exhibition. The first Spontanous Combustion was organised in Tower Hamlets in 2011. The aim of the festival is to give opportunity to the public to watch dance performances and to participate at various dance workshops. Also, it gives the opportinity to dancers to show their work. For one week, we would like to focus on dance and would like to invite everybody, both professionals and nonprofessionals, to join us. We are still looking for participants - volunteers, dancers, and first-aid support - and can be contacted on event@artch.org.uk
