CHAMELEON PRESENTS: UPLIFT

Join us for a triple bill showcasing some of the North West's most exciting dance makers! Chameleon Presents: UPLIFT Throughout Autumn, we've hosted 3 companies in residence at our home studios. The artists have had the chance to create, experiment, adapt and develop with the support of Chameleon’s creative team. Join us, on Sat 21 November for a chance to see what they've been up to and feedback on the work so far! During the evening, you’ll be the first to see the premiere of our new film '3 FEET DEEP' featuring our Chameleon Youth Senior dancers. You’ll also get the chance to experience an interactive drop-in with Travis and Tristan from Attempts of Beauty to trial their new work.
