This is The Renovātiō Series, our digital programme as part of our Carnival of Shadows season.

Taking its roots and meaning from latin: rebirth / renewal, The Renovātiō Series allows us all to listen to the stories of many different people, and be true to each individual journey. We have brought together a multiplicity of voices not just from within the Company, but from other communities: AKC dancers as well as other dancers and non-professionals who dance and are passionate about dance – all from various backgrounds, experiences and cultures.

We asked each of them one single, simple and essential question: what does dance mean to you now?

From 29 November – 3 December 2021, we shared this poetic collection of 1-minute portraits.
