Catapult Dance Opening Weekend Performance

Celebrate a world‑leading artist‑led and access‑focused project with a special performance by Catapult Dance in response to a new commission by artist Fayen d’Evie.

Fayen’s sculptures '(reflecting air) "Touch enabled her to discern minute details...which often pass unnoticed..."' 2025 were commissioned to enhance safety within the Gallery’s original 1977 brutalist staircases. Crafted from steel and shaped like faceted minerals, the sculptures sit beneath the two staircases in the Gallery’s historic building, offering both functional guidance and sculptural beauty.

Don’t miss Catapult Dance performing live in the Gallery, accompanied by a unique soundtrack played directly on the sculptures themselves.

📅 Sunday 1 March, 2.00 - 2.30pm

🖼️Free to attend, no bookings.
