Powering imagination through dance
The Place, London’s creative powerhouse for dance development, has been leading the way in dance training, creation and performance for 50 years. In a changing landscape, our vision for the future remains steadfast: we are powering imagination through dance, championing new ideas, embracing risks and creating optimal conditions for dance artists and enthusiasts to realise their full potential. The Place is home to London Contemporary Dance School, Richard Alston Dance Company, an extensive theatre and artist development programme, education projects, a range of classes and courses and a nationwide touring model. As a pioneering dance organisation, we are committed to creating exciting dance experiences for everybody, offering a divers and dynamic theatre programme for audiences, supporting artists and dance makers and giving young people access to the highest quality opportunities to transform their lives with dance. It combines London Contemporary Dance School, Richard Alston Dance Company and theatre, together with an extensive range of participatory programmes for adults and young people, and ongoing support and professional development for artists. Our goals for the future build on the achievements of our history: to transform and enrich lives, to continue to shape where dance is going next. www.theplace.org.uk
