Mapping the Dance Floor

Dance Umbrella presents:

Join Natifah White in creating a page for a collective zine.Share your story through collage, drawing and writing. Bring photographs, flyers, tickets or other personal items and materials that evoke a memory (a piece of fabric, a colour, a texture, a pattern or an object) that connects you to spaces of movement, music and gathering. Together we'll create pages that become part of a collective digital zine and a growing community archive.

If your item is precious or sentimental, we encourage you to bring a photocopy or printed version so you can still contribute your story while keeping the original safe.

Part of Touch The Floor, a Dance Umbrella event curated by Anthea Lewis exploring the history and evolution of Black British social dance and music cultures. Through talks, movement, music, making and participation, it celebrates the informal spaces where people gathered, connected and created community.

This is a FREE event, however capacity is limited to 20 people, so will operate on a first come, first serve drop in format.
