In 2012, MobileDance and East London Dance came together to deliver Postcards from East London, a UK development of the international dance/film project Postcards from...
Over a period of six months, eight east London based artists worked with four groups from Tower Hamlets to create short moving postcards of their area. They created a series of nine films re-imagining and revealing histories, revolutions and every-day passions, just around the corner.
The project was funded by High Street 2012, a programme to enhance and celebrate the ribbon of London life that connects the City at Aldgate to the Olympic Park at Stratford in the year of the London Olympics. Postcards from East London was part of Big Dance 2012 in the London 2012 festival, the culmination of the cultural Olympiad.
