After several months, and the most applications we've ever received for a festival, we can finally announce our new lineup for Firefly, our first festival for a year! Firefly will be held at Pleasance Theatre in Islington on 22 - 24 July. 

Of course the most exciting part of our lineup is Kristen McNally, a Royal Ballet soloist, presenting her unique style of "indie ballet" on both Saturday and Sunday. Even more exciting is that it'll be performed by Tommy Franzén, of ZooNation and BBC's So You Think You Can Dance fame. We'll also have Devaraj Thimmaiah, previously of Tavaziva Dance and currently of Shobana Jeyasingh Dance Company, whose work Arranged Marriage was described by Graham Watts as "a powerful, superbly performed, duet" when performed at The Place's Resolution! earlier this year.

A Quick Update

We've spent over four months now trying to find venues for our 2011 festivals, and we hope we'll finally be able to make an announcement soon - we're very excited at the prospect of resuming festivals, it's been way too long since we last did one!

 

We're aiming to hold festivals in early July and late November, but that's all we can really say for now.

 

We've decided to change our artistic policy and overhaul our applications process, which does mean we have a sizeable mountain of preparations to get through before we can even think about launching another festival. Therefore, please be nice to us and if you want to know more about the upcoming festivals, please just add yourself to the Future Festivals mailing list on our home page, as we won't have time to respond to enquiries until then!

On A Break

In the build-up to our last festival, Hush, we announced that we would probably be taking an extended break once this festival was over, due to shortages of resources and funds.

As we have had numerous queries since then about when the next festival will be, it seemed logical to explain this more fully. Add a comment
