Company Chameleon presents the UK première of Amaranthine and a trio of free pop-up dance performances in Manchester City Centre on September 13 and 15.

An after-work treat, dancing across Tony Wilson Place, and surprising Saturday shoppers, the piece has been choreographed to be adapted and performed in all sorts of different spaces.

The first pop-up and UK première takes place at The Foundation Coffee House in the Northern Quarter.

The second and third performances take place outside on Saturday. At 1PM, Chameleon will be dancing across Tony Wilson Square at First Street and, following on at 3PM, they will be surprising Saturday shoppers with a pop-up at St Ann’s Square.

Combining a mix of dance styles, the movement is drawing from an amalgam of dance techniques including contemporary dance, b-boying, capoeira and partner work.
