This project breathes new life into Manchester's iconic Northern Soul heritage. We will create a 15-minute immersive dance piece that weaves through the city's industrial architecture and legendary nightlife spots. The performance will be filmed in a single continuous shot, capturing the raw energy of the dancers as they move from the cobbled alleys of the Northern Quarter to the grand staircase of the Midland Hotel. The choreography fuses vintage soul moves (spins, drops, kicks) with contemporary contemporary dance, telling a story of a lost record collector searching for the ultimate '60s 45. The team will design custom vinyl-inspired costumes and use portable speakers to broadcast original Northern Soul tracks, creating a live soundscape that echoes through the city. We'll collaborate with a local vintage record shop to source props and a café for a finale scene, making this a true Manchester love letter.
