New Worlds, part of the imove programme, is a partnership between Alchemy, Bradford’s Department of Regeneration and Culture, Harewood House, National Centre for Early Music National Media Museum and the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. imove celebrates and challenges the relationship between people and their moving bodies through a series of exciting and innovative arts projects across Yorkshire. Inspired by London 2012, imove is funded by Legacy Trust UK and Arts Council, England.
