FABRIC, the new company formed from the merger of dance organisations DanceXchange in Birmingham and Dance4 in Nottingham, will present its first full programme of work this autumn.

Nottdance is the Company's first offering and runs from 5 to 29 October with 25 events from over 17 artists showing at 11 locations across Nottingham. The programme was created in collaboration with partners and artists whose home, place of work or international destination is Nottingham and its wider communities. 

The line-up of artists, which features Seke Chimutengwende, Clara Furey, Usha Mahenthiralingam, and Janine Harrington, come from near and far and draw on themes of touch, care, decolonisation, personal archives, and labour. 

The UK premiere of Clara Furey’s Dog Rising UK (pictured) will be performed at Nottdance on 8 October before being presented as part of Birmingham’s Fierce Festival on the 13th. FABRIC will co-present two further shows as part of Fierce Festival - both in the Patrick Studio at Birmingham Hippodrome.  These include the UK Premiere of Lisa Vereerbrugghen's SOFTCORE a hardcore encounter on 12 and 14 October and Radio III by Zoë Poluch, Hanako Hoshimi-Caines and Elisa Harkins, on the 15th.

FABRIC’s autumn season continues at the Patrick Studio with Altered Skin’s Fatherhood on 27 and 28 October and Contemporary Dance 2.0 by Shechter II on 24 and 25 November.
