Side Step 2026 festival's programme includes an artist talk after each of the works. The audience will be guided into to these conversations with Between Performance and After Talk: A Conversation Space, facilitated by choreographer and Side Step's co-curator Peter Mills.

Between Performance and After Talk: A Conversation Space

Peter Mills, choreographer and co-curator of Side Step Festival, will host a space for audience reflections. In short conversations with fellow audience members, you’ll have the chance to discover new perspectives and let the performance resonate more deeply — a way to connect, reflect, and exchange before we turn to the artists themselves.

The conversations will start as soon as possible after the performance, either inside the venue, or in the foyer.
