Counterpoints Arts: We Move with Joy
Meet at our Riverside Stage for a day of activities to make us move, reflect on our beautiful city as home, and come together in celebration and radical joy.
Sign up to our waiting list to hear about our ticket returns.
‘When the world is going through so much… we hold grief and joy side by side in our body, in our home, in our everyday…
‘When we come together we can allow joy and celebration to take up space for a change, build resilience and nourish us,’ says Dima AlMekdad, Refugee Week Co-Chair and Executive Director at Candoco Dance Company.
Presented in collaboration with Counterpoints Arts. Co-curated with an artist from Counterpoints Arts network.
This summer, we’re collaborating with a range of London-based collectives and organisations to curate the Riverside Stage in response to the theme of our season, You Belong Here, enabling these collaborators to welcome different audiences and recognise how they want and choose to belong here at the Southbank Centre.
