Coffee Mornings: Autumn 2022
Rant. Chat. Eat. Coffee Mornings are back this Autumn, with an event every month from September to December. This season includes a wide range of conversations around consent, community, trauma, and future thinking.
Coffee Mornings are a way in which dance/performance makers and doers can talk about the relationships between issues of production, public policy and the politics of the artwork that they are making and doing. Each Coffee Morning has a different theme, and is led by a different artist or group. The events are free and open to all artists, no booking required. We sit around the table and eat and talk. See the full programme below.
While booking is not required, you can RSVP on Eventbrite.
