What artistic and aesthetic choices are being made and why?
Is there enough dance work being produced for these scales?
Does the number of dates available at this scale reflect the audience demand?
Who is responsible for taking risks at the middle and large scale, venues or companies? Or is it simply a case of economics?
This debate is sponsored by Dance Consortium, the unique collaboration between 19 large-scale theatres that brings great international contemporary dance to audiences across the UK.
