The Place:
For one week The Place’s artists will inhabit the spaces of the gallery, showcasing the broad and diverse practices of contemporary dance. Including an array of site-specific installations, performances, video documentations and impromptu one-off dances, the show will offer an unprecedented insight into the creative process of dance artists.
Choreographers of international acclaim, including Rosemary Butcher, Place Prize winner Ben Duke, Darren Ellis, Frauke Requardt, Rosemary Lee, Eva Recacha, Tony Adigun and Avant Garde Dance, Simon Ellis, Igor Urzelai and Moreno Solinas, Freddie Opoku-Addaie, Luca Silvestrini, and Vera Tussing, will transform Bloomberg SPACE with a rolling programme of residencies, making it their own creative space over the course of the exhibition, continuously reinventing itself.
Bloomberg support of performance has been wide reaching and focused from dance on the streets and theatre in squares, to supporting The Place Prize from its early idea to now as one of the most prestigious prizes for choreographers. Bloomberg is committed to artistic projects that propel original ideas and reach new audiences and has a particular interest in finding new ways of inspiring audiences simultaneously giving artists rare and treasured opportunities for their practice. We are excited to welcome the Place choreographers to Bloomberg SPACE, many of whom we have worked with or supported in the past.
Celebrating the legacy of the relationship between Bloomberg and The Place, the collaboration will also mark the end of Bloomberg SPACE’s COMMA programme. The new incarnation of Bloomberg SPACE will bring together our philanthropic passions of commissioning new works and supporting the programmes of cultural institutions globally.
