Dear friends and colleagues, I encourage anyone interested in current choreographic practices to attend Nottdance 2017 (March 8th - 12th) curated by Dance4 - one of our most forward-looking dance organisations here in the UK. The commitment of Dance4 to supporting British dance artists and their research processes drives this festival which includes new work, debates, studio sharings and rich provocations. Bringing artists, academics and the public together the festival offers an intensive series of events over five days. In my role as Deputy Chair of the Board of Directors at Dance4, I invite you to join me and welcome you to the new building housing the 'International Centre for Choreography'. http://dance4.co.uk/event/nottdance Vida L.
