Embodied EnergyThis exciting new site-specific piece, choreographed by Katie Green, is the result of a unique collaboration between architecture and dance. Dancers from The Place use a series of flexible, sustainable structures designed by the RA President’s firm, Grimshaw, in an interactive performance taking place in the courtyard to complement the Summer Exhibition.

RA Courtyard; 6.30pm and 8pm; free

Talks take place in the Architecture Room of the Summer Exhibition and in the Architecture Space (featuring the work of Kengo Kuma) about the relationship between movement, space, performance and architecture.

Scheduled at intervals throughout the evening; free
