Stan Won't Dance collaborate with designer Michael Pavelka and an international collection of over 100 dancers, circus artists, singers and free runners — both professional and student — to celebrate the relaunch of Southbank Centre.
Together with Canadian parkour artist Troy Feldman they create a fantasy world of the future where people run up walls, skim across rooftops and defy the laws of physics and physicality in an unforgettable large-scale outdoor spectacular.
