Luminate 2016 is just a few weeks away!

October is just around the corner and we are looking forward to a busy month of events and creative activities for all ages. In a programme that features dance, drama, music, visual arts, storytelling, photography and crafts – whatever your age and wherever you are in Scotland, there will be something for everyone during Luminate 2016.

Festival highlights include Fishamble’s Forgotten. Starting at the Tron Theatre on Saturday 1 October, this captivating portrayal by Pat Kinevane of four older characters living in retirement homes and care facilities around Ireland will tour to three venues during Luminate. Dance lovers should also look out for PRIME, Quicksilver and Gracenote’s Carry On Dancing. The three elder dance companies will travel to Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Inverness performing to a varied soundtrack including the Rolling Stones and fresh hip hop tunes. Their tour begins at Dance Base in Edinburgh on Sunday 2 October.
