Creative Cities

Artistic Directors: Lea Anderson and Jason Rowland

A spectacular performance of music, dance and film set against the iconic backdrop of Canary Wharf.

Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance, proudly supported by Canary Wharf Group plc, worked with over five hundred people from across the Isle of Dogs and Tower Hamlets in this exploration of the city. Inspired by contemporary German composer Heiner Goebbels' seminal work, Surrogate Cities, participants of all ages and backgrounds collaborated with experienced music and dance practitioners to explore and celebrate the unique cityscape in which they live.

Featured young students from Cubitt Town and Shapla Primary Schools and Mulberry Secondary School for Girls, Trinity Laban's youth dance groups Get Your Act Together
and Dance Fusion and local community groups including the Isle of Dogs Community Choir.

East Wintergarden, Canary Wharf
