this dark gleam is a six-month programme of experimental dance work. The programme presents live performances and workshops that act as sites for speculation and reinvention, often transdisciplinary, embedding formal technique with social dance. Alongside the performance programme, ICA runs a free monthly reading group exploring raving and contemporary dance as philosophical projects.
