Routes
Creative Guided Walks and Outdoor Installation by dance artist Vanessa Grasse
Friday 22 and Sat 23 June 2012 - FREE 

Dance4 has been working with international choreographer Vanessa Grasse to engage the public in workshops that in turn have inspired a performance based on walking and community experiences.

Participants from the Belgrave and Braunstone communities in Leicester have been led through a creative process of outdoor walking, listening and observing, recording sounds through their neighbourhoods and open discussions where they can share their views and feelings about their local area and community.
