We are now looking for choreographers to take part in the next TiLT. It will be held on 18th and 19th of September at the Kazimier, a new and alternative venue for contemporary dance in Liverpool.

The evening will be a selection of varying contemporary dance pieces with the majority of works being by Liverpool based artists.

This is a chance for up and coming artists to choreograph and perform at a professional level. There is no fee to take part and ticket prices are kept low to encourage a wider audience, (this is a non profit event).

The previous TILT’s have been a huge success and have had lots of positive feedback. TiLT will be happening twice a year and its aim is to grow and become a recognised platform for emerging choreographers to showcase their work to a wide and alternative audience.
