Celebrating 30 Years of Chisenhale Dance Space

Jacky Lansley was one of the group of radical artists who made an old veneer factory in Chisenhale Road Bow their creative home in the mid1970s. Some thirty years later, Chisenhale Dance Space is still a space for artists making cutting edge work.

THE CHISENHALE DEBATE
As part of the celebrations, Jacky Lansley chaired a discussion: Feminism and Dance – have things improved?
"After at least two decades in the shade a new feminism is revealing itself. This provides a fresh opportunity to discuss the particular challenges facing women choreographers and dancers; to ask questions about women's artistic practice and the contexts in which it endeavours to take place – have things improved and if not what can be done about it?"
