Dance Exposed comprises a series of portable dance products that are created to feed into a city's cultural life. Inspired by the need to increase the profile of dance amongst a wider audience, Dance Exposed involves the commission of two dance pieces. These adaptable performances can take place in public streets, shopping centres, parks and other public spaces.
