As part of their final project, third year students at Northern School of Contemporary Dance will perform a variety of productions in bizarre and interesting locations across Leeds. The students were given 5 weeks to form a company and collaborate to create a performance for their Collaborative Arts module. This module is where up and coming dance company Gracefool Collective was first established.

This year there are 10 companies performing in different locations around Leeds. See the details below for the individual performances. Tickets can be booked by calling 0113 219 3014
