Live/Dance

Arnolfini's programme of contemporary live and performance art and dance is unique within Bristol.

I Am Still Your Worst Nightmare (26-27 April) is an opportunity for new or established artists to perform at Arnolfini and for audiences to see a truly astonishing array of live art work.

Don't miss Pacitti Company in April with their homage to Quentin Crisp. In May, Arnolfini host Mayfest for one glorious weekend of performance mayhem. May also sees us bid a fond farewell to veteran performance makers Goat Island in a performance and a very special dinner party - We'd Like Fireworks.

Dance fans have the chance to see Chunky Move and their incredible "illuminated choreography", as well as Laila Diallo and Melanie Demers with their Sense of Self.
