PROJECT | CONNECT – ‘Uniting the conversation between what has happened, what is happening and what is going to happen in dance.’

Summer 2019 will see the launch of PROJECT | CONNECT an unprecedented dance festival taking place in the magnificent city of London. What began as a reunion of ex-colleagues and friends orchestrated by Robert Dungey, has bloomed into a three week summer intensive which brings together the international crème de la crème of dance.

Robert Dungey has gathered an exclusive faculty of artists from Netherlands Dance Theatre, Dance Theatre of Harlem, American Ballet Theater, Alvin Ailey, Compañía Nacional de Danza, National Ballet of Canada, Béjart Ballet Lausanne, Staatsballett Berlin and Batsheva Dance Company amongst many others, to come together and help the new generation of dance artists dive into the profession.
