KATIE ARMSTRONG & LEWIS NORMAND – STRONGHOLD 

Working across film, movement and sound, Stronghold is a collaboration between dance artists Katie Armstrong and Lewis Normand.  The work is inspired by the unique architecture of the Dance Base building.  Stronghold explores the themes of absence and presence and draws influence from conversations with the people who bring life into the building.
