Dance Umbrella Festival (held online)

This contemporary dance festival organized every autumn by Dance Umbrella, an organization founded in 1978 to promote the development of contemporary dance in the UK. It began as a simple showcase style festival introducing new choreographers but has evolved in recent years to become “Britain’s most important dance festival” (Time Out magazine) with a full, high-quality program that makes one of Europe’s leading dance festivals. In addition to commissioning new works and collaborative works year-round, it also serves as a promoter of performances by overseas companies at venues throughout the UK.
