Choreographers Becky Namgauds, Duwane Taylor, James Finnemore and Joseph Toonga are seeking London based female and male dancers to take part in East Wall, which will take place at the Tower of London, one of London’s most iconic buildings, in July 2018.

East Wall will feature a cast of up to 160 dancers, musicians and community participants to celebrate East London’s rich cultural heritage as part of the first major public art commission in the Tower of London moat since the Poppies installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red in 2014.
