About this event
GDIF's dance day turns the Olympic Park into a promenade stage: site-specific choreography performed against the architecture, from intimate duets to large ensemble work, with audiences walking between locations across the afternoon. It is one of the UK's biggest free outdoor dance programmes and a good introduction for anyone who has never watched contemporary dance before.
Why we picked it
Free contemporary dance at scale, in an easily reachable park, on a September Saturday when the summer programme has otherwise thinned out.
Free entry
Part of GDIF, which the organiser describes as a free festival with 'FREE ART EVERYWHERE'. Daily running times not stated on the organiser page checked.
