Overview

Dreams' Winter was a collaboration between Forced Entertainment, composer John Avery and a diverse group of other performers. The project formed part of two birthday celebrations - marking the 10th year of Forced Entertainment and the 60th year of Manchester Central Library. The performance itself was designed for and inspired by the Library building - a huge, circular, dome-ceilinged space with shelves running to the centre like the spokes of a wheel. Dreams' Winter was the first major site-specific performance by the company, following their December 1993 project Red Room for The Showroom Gallery, London.
