Rebellious dance extravaganza to celebrate culture in town centre
As Weymouth and Portland Towns of Culture launch weekend is truly underway, today you can catch a vibrant dance extravaganza celebrating the best of local culture.
This morning, Ramshacklicious and Hijinx will be performing in New Bond street Weymouth, between 11.30am and 2.30pm, celebrating the launch of the year long cultural celebration.
The free event, Truth, will be a rebellious display of outdoor dance, full of hope and challenging the public norm. The event is free to attend.
Local crowds will be invited to join in with games and celebrate through dance in the town centre.
Last night, Weymouth and Portland Towns of Culture officially kicked off with a launch party held at Saint Nics Gallery in St Nicholas Street. The exciting celebration of the towns featured live music and performance created by a group of students from Weymouth College.
People were also invited to join in on a 'Culture Crawl', a dedicated trail of live performances and cultural happenings across Weymouth.
Particular highlights were events hosted at Abigail's Party, at the Weymouth Drama Club, including rehearsals of iconic plays.
Events will be happening all across the weekend, including visual displays, video screenings and live music for people to attend.
A spokesperson for We Are Weymouth previously said: "Weymouth and Portland Towns of Culture 2025 is an opportunity celebrate what we already do and what we might like to do when inspired by others."
