Welcome to The Lowry
We’re really proud to announce another exciting season coming to Salford. At The Lowry we pride ourselves on having one of the country’s strongest and most diverse dance programmes. This autumn we will be taking our exploration of dance to a new level, when the internationally renowned dancer and choreographer, Akram Khan, becomes our second Performer as Curator. Following on from the success of our inaugural curator, Alison Goldfrapp, this innovative new exhibition gives a performing artist the chance to take over our galleries and explore the blurring of boundaries between performing and visual arts. We are also delighted to have Eckhard Thiemann, a former producer for the Cultural Olympiad, joining our team as Programming Associate for Dance. Eckhard will ensure our programming remains truly cutting edge and further strengthen our position as the centre for dance in the North of England. The dance programme this autumn includes Brazilian company Grupo Corpo and a stunning performance by Theo Clinkhard taking place in our Compass Room.
Alongside this we have one of the strongest theatre programmes in recent years. It features three multi-awardwinning productions from, our partner company, the National Theatre, including the first performances outside London of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time. We also welcome critically-acclaimed productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company, Frantic Assembly and the Royal Court. There's more than ever for families too, starting with our landmark exhibition Here’s One We Made Earlier, tracking the history of BBC Children’s broadcasting. Then in October, we will be working with partners once more on the national Family Arts Festival – so make sure you visit thelowry.com for more information. We hope you can join us again.

Here’s One We Made Earlier The story of BBC Children’s broadcasting: past, present & future
Sat 19 July – Sun 12 October Bill and Ben, Muffin the Mule, Andy Pandy, Teletubbies, Crackerjack, Newsround, Blue Peter and Tracy Beaker… our childhoods have been defined by the broadcasts we first encountered as children. They have shaped our imaginations, from the family sitting room into the wider world. This major exhibition explores the story of over 90 years of BBC Children’s broadcasting, starting with the first days of broadcasting in 1922, when the BBC launched Children’s Hour, right up to the present multi-media moment. Fun, engaging, interactive, and full of famous presenters past and present, Here’s One We Made Earlier will reflect shifting perceptions of children in society, from toddlers who were asked to ‘sit comfortably’ in front of the family wireless, to today’s children who take centre stage on air and online. This exhibition has been produced by The Lowry in partnership with the BBC.

Performer As Curator Opens Sat 15 November Dancer and Choreographer Akram Khan curates the second in our major new series, giving outstanding performers the opportunity to curate their own visual arts exhibition. Khan brings together elements of performance and live installation work alongside sculpture, painting and film, that echoes his enduring fascination with essential oppositions – the traditional and the contemporary, the spiritual and the grounded, doubt and certainty, light and dark, truth and fiction. An Alice in Wonderland-like labyrinth of the artistic and cultural influences that inspire the performer, the exhibition can be experienced at times as a guided tour or as an immersive personal journey.

One man tries to find his balance in an unstable world in this acclaimed full-length contemporary solo by celebrated choreographer and performer Akram Khan. His most personal work to date, DESH – meaning ‘homeland’ in Bengali – sees Khan team up with Oscar-winning visual artist Tim Yip (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). Moving between Britain and Bangladesh, Khan weaves threads of memory, experience and myth into a surreal world of surprising connections. At once intimate and epic, DESH celebrates the resilience of the human spirit in the rhythms of labour, in dream and story, and in transformation and survival.

Company Chameleon The Lowry's Resident Dance Company
Beauty Of The Beast Wed 22 & Thu 23 October Beauty of the Beast is an exploration of masculinity and male group behaviour. Inspired by observations and theories of identity – reference groups where men’s commitment to the group is so strong that affiliation to it is part of their identity; where pressure to conform to group norms is irresistible and inter-group rivalries can be highly competitive and hostile. Commissioned by The Lowry, DanceXchange and Live at LICA. Post-Show Talk
