Transform 21-22 in Images

May 25, 2022

Transform 21-22 asked us to think differently about what an international festival might look like and feel like for our audience. We attempted to disrupt the festival model for something slower, more sustainable and care-led. We welcomed artists from across the globe to Leeds to present important work and embarked on exciting collaborations. Here is Transform 21-22 in images.

A group of performers in colourful, glittery costume stand with their backs to the camera. They are bowing and facing the audience who are clapping. They are standing on a grey concrete floor of a car park, with bright strip lights above them.
