Seven Sisters Group focuses on communicating contemporary issues through new and idiosyncratic works that defy labeling. Their highly acclaimed projects are often site-specific and combine contemporary dance, installation, video and spoken word. Among the vanguard of site specific practitioners since the early 90’s, Seven Sisters Group’s work has been described as leading in the field of site-spec
ific performance; their projects have been presented in both outdoor and indoor sites in the UK and Europe, with venues ranging from theatres and galleries, libraries and railway stations to The Royal Opera House and The Royal National Theatre.
