• Festival opening + launch event

Time to connect. Come and join us to celebrate the start of Cardiff Dance Festival.

Our opening evening includes a festival commission from artist Cecile Johnson Soliz and dancers, screenings of films by festival artists and companies, and a DJ set from Andy Warphole.


Exploratory Dances for Drawings and Sculpture 

Cecile Johnson Soliz works across drawing and sculpture. Cardiff Dance Festival has commissioned Cecile to explore her approach to making with dancers Martha Dunbar, Camille Giraudeau, Zosia Jo and Charlotte Perkins. The ensuing conversation between them involves movement and materials and the recognition of everyday gestures and actions. This exciting work, Exploratory Dances for Drawings and Sculpture, is an intention of future collaboration, we hope.


Drop an email to rsvp@dance.wales if you can make it. 

We’d love to see you there.
