Informed by notions of shared experience, Common Dance is a large-scale
work by one of Britain’s leading choreographers, Rosemary Lee. This bold
production involves 50 professional and non-professional dancers aged 8 to 80, a choir of 70 young people from Finchley Children’s Music Group and a specially commissioned score by Terry Mann.

Created specifically for Greenwich’s historic and striking Borough Hall, the space will be used as a symbolic ‘common ground’, bringing together performers from across the generations. Walking the margin between the traditional and the contemporary, Common Dance is both poignant and telling.
