Absolutely devastating for the city. Acknowledging how many international locally-rooted orgs we've lost since Brexit, COVID, economic collapse & rising fascism. We are losing infrastructure that makes our city Replaced by copy & paste "units" in a faux development narrative.
@BhamDanceFest Terrible news for #birmingham and for dance artists and audiences in the city and further afield. Credit to everyone who worked so hard to make this a signature event and to those who fought for its future. Sad times indeed #culture#notanicetohave
A BIG LOSS FOR BRUM
Big reason I ended up in culture from the 2010 edition. Going to have to travel a lot more to see international work outside of the city. Brilliant performances in public space and a great introduction for my little one: exposure and participation.
It’s a sad loss for the organisation, dancers, choreographers, production crew’s, marketing, security, & everyone else’s involved in making Birmingham Dance Festival happen. It will have a huge impact on jobs & loss of revenue to the city. #dance#artsandculture
Devastating news to see an incredible free and accessible way to experience dance in the city end. To see such an asset to Brum & the wider midlands disappearing... the arts is hurting... Sending love to prev colleagues who had spent so much time building this to what it was <3
We’re so incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved – and we extend our heartfelt thanks to audiences, artists, staff and partners who have worked with us over the years.
