Sport and dance collided in At Your Leisure a new festival of international performance and workshops that took place across East Lothian and Edinburgh from 29th Oct - 3rd Nov 2018. Dance met with Judo, Table Tennis, Football, Climbing, Running and more, and audiences were invited to watch, play and participate.
With a public and schools programme, shows included; La Partida (The Match) from Spanish company Vero Cendoya Co. taking place at the Penny Pit Football Grounds in Prestonpans, shedding new light on the beautiful game; The Gentle Way at North Berwick Leisure Centre from Austrian based Hungry Sharks which takes hold of Judo as its inspiration and The Boulderers from Kapow Dance Theatre a dance/circus/climbing performance for schools audiences at the newly opened Loanhead Climbing Centre, Eden Rock. Special daytime performances took place for school pupils in East Lothian while the wider public were able attend evening performances.
There were 20+ events that made up the festival, which was part of the Year of Young People 2018. At Your Leisure culminated in a final sport and dance take over day at Musselburgh Leisure Centre where sports and dance enthusiasts of all ages were able to watch performances and try taster sessions in everything from street dance to table tennis...all for free!
At Your Leisure was curated and co-produced by a panel of Young Festival Producers and East Lothian based Room 2 Manoeuvre, in consultation with youth groups. The event is supported by the Year of Young People 2018 event fund, managed by EventScotland, part of VisitScotland’s Events Directorate.
