Right Up Your Street

The enchanted Era Emporium is open! The floor is swept, and the windows are washed, but there's definitely something funny going on with those mannequins!

It all starts with an enchanted jukebox. Choose a record and watch the shopkeeper’s wild imagination come to life. Whoosh back and forward in time, exploring the city’s history through dance.

Featuring a soundtrack of popular music from the last one hundred years, Right Up Your Street is an interactive celebration of the people of Aberdeen and their love for dance, past and present. Join Shaper/Caper at 1-5 Schoolhill, Aberdeen (outside the Bon Accord Centre) to hear community stories about the joy of dancing. You’ll even have the chance to share your own memories with us - from primary school ceilidh practice, to slow dancing at the Beach Ballroom, to having a whirl around the kitchen on a Tuesday night - and everything in between.

Each Right Up Your Street performance is different, so you can come back and visit again and again. See you there soon!

With set designed by Rachael Light.

Right Up Your Street was commissioned by Aberdeen Performing Arts as part of Wonderland Festival.
