We are delighted to announce that Southpaw Dance Company will create a spectacular mass participation dance and video event especially for Hull Freedom Festival 2017.

Taking place in a landmark city centre location, RUSH will be a large-scale, mass participation dance spectacular, featuring a cast of members of the Hull community, performing alongside Southpaw’s company dancers, and featuring stunning projections by Novak.

RUSH is a celebration of cultural expression and identity, of local lives and daily struggles, with community at its heart. Told through the lens of three local characters, RUSH examines the daily frustrations that move us to effect change, offering dance, music, and the power of vibrant, cultural protest as a voice to express those struggles; a voice firmly rooted in the cultural identity of Hull.
