Following its online premiere on Thursday 27 August 2020, The Solo Collective will now be available to watch online until Friday 18 September 2020.

The Solo Collective is a new digital dance performance, fusing a collection of socially distanced solos by Dance City’s post-graduate company The Collective, exploring themes of identity, society and media within the unprecedented circumstances we now live.
