Pushing the hem-lines of dance

Dance pushes the boundaries this week

 

Knitting project
Contemporary dance is well known for pushing boundaries, but surely not if those boundaries are hem-lines! That’s right: the fifth edition of the ongoing series Thousand Threads sees the premiere of a knitting and dance performance! Featuring a workshop by American knitting guru Stephen West and a performance by one of the UK’s most celebrated modern dancers, Kirstie Simson, the audience are invited to knit during the performance. Now that’s what we call alternative.

Lille Carl i Dansehallerne, Pasteursvej 20, Cph V; Sat 20:00; tickets: 35-120kr, www.teaterbilletter.dk; www.dansehallerne.dk
