As a key regional performance company Northern Dance will help support the first UK edition of the 404 Festival of Art and Technology in Newcastle, Gateshead and Sunderland. The project draws upon 404’s international network of artists, performers and technologists to present innovative public installations, performances, hands-on educational workshops and talks creating a free platform where important international and emergent perspectives on art and technology can directly interact with the North East’s community of artists, researchers and creative technologies to share ideas and new applications of creative practice.
