A performance piece conceived for Tate Modern by Lloyd Newson for DV8 (that) takes elements
from DV8's stage production the cost of living and combines them with new material to explore
the architecture of the Tate Modern building .... Low and High art/living.
DV8 will take you on a promenade through the public spaces, starting at street level
in the Turbine Hall and winding up through the floors to Level 7.
Join us on a journey incorporating dance, circus, physical daring and visual spectacle,
