On 22 April 2018 a group of community performers danced the famous sequence by the iconic German choreographer Pina Bausch: the Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter line from NELKEN, 1982, through the streets and parks of Sneinton, Nottingham, as part of an international participatory project. I facilitated workshops with Oakfield SEN School and several large community classes at Dance4, in order to teach the movement sequence to one hundred participants. I collaborated with a film student at Confetti Nottingham, Kyle Smith, so the work is now online alongside submissions from across the world.
A revived version of the Nottingham Nelken Line happened as part of Nottstopping virtual city festival in May 2020. For this we gathered online to preform the choreography from home during the Covid-19 lockdown.
