In Brief
Bursting into life for its fourth outing, Turn pivots into a new home to showcase new and experimental work from the region’s dancemakers. In a frenzy of loose limbs and lyrical gestures, unfeasible stretches and frantic rhythms, twelve shows and countless performers fill the building with every style imaginable.
