As programme partner at Birmingham Weekender 2024, produced by Birmingham Hippodrome, FABRIC is delighted to announce some amazing FREE dance performances on Saturday 24 and Sunday 25 August as part of the Bullring Dance Stage programme.

The Bullring Dance Stage will be on the lower mall west at the Bullring outside of Marks & Spencer and there is a packed programme for everyone to enjoy.

Look out for a treadmill taking centre stage for Walker Movement Theatre Company’s Tread – expect contemporary dance and stunt performance. Break Mission bring Swan Break a modern-day version of the classic dance merging street and classical styles. Chad Taylor performs Closer to My Dreams through poetry, rap and hip-hop choreography; and Linden Dance Company’s Keep Moving and FABRIC’s Future Shift dancers are collaborating to create a new inclusive piece – Uplift – that explores empowerment and confidence in owning who you are.
