Dance: Station/Stationary (Crewe Station / Cheshire Dance 2011)

When the BBC came to Crewe Railway Station to see what all the fuss was about. More than 500 people from all over Britain came together to be the first to see the world premiere of a unique performance at Crewe Railway Station. Cheshire Dance, The Body Cartography Project and more than 100 performers redefined what many consider to be one of the UKs iconic railway stations. Station/Stationary is probably the most ambitious performing arts project ever to be undertaken at a railway station in this country. The Station/Stationary project has been commissioned through the Cheshire Year of Gardens Spaces Programme, which is also linked via the various transport gateways to Liverpool’s Capital of Culture celebration. It is was also part of the Open Weekend which celebrates the launch of the Cultural Olympiad program. Cheshire Dance, The BodyCartography Project, and up to 100 performers encouraged audiences and commuters alike to reengage their sensory curiosity to redefine one of the UK’s iconic railway stations, through performance and installation works. Station/Stationary is probably the most ambitious performing arts project ever to be undertaken at a railway station in the UK.
