Luca Silvestrini’s Protein brings its outdoor spectacular (In)visible Dancing to Hull as part of UK City of Culture 2017.

Protein will work with five Hull-based dance apprentices and five musicians to create the 12th edition of (In)visible Dancing, featuring dance artists, skateboarders, parkour and street performers as well as performance groups from the region.

First staged in Birmingham in 2010 and since seen in cities all over the UK, what looks like random incidental behaviour on the streets develops into a fully-fledged dance performance with live music, culminating in a finale that brings together more than 100 performers, including any passers-by who have learned the steps.

Silvestrini said, “we are really excited to contribute to the UK City of Culture 2017 celebrations in Hull and to renew ties with the region. We are looking forward to working with Hull’s practicing artists and with the next generation of creatives in the city.”

Martin Green, director at Hull UK City of Culture 2017, said, “(In)visible Dancing is going to turn the city into a performance playground, animating the streets of Hull as never seen before. We’re all very excited to see how each performance progresses and involves the people who live in, work in and visit the city. It’s definitely going to be something that must not be missed.”
