Made Up North is a contemporary dance platform showcasing the works of dance artists either from the North, based up North or who have trained in the North, encouraging us to appreciate the diversity of work being created by the people of this region.
It is also an opportunity for people to discuss the changes to the dance industry in the North, what changes they want to see and their role within it. So basically, a show with a postshow talk!
