We're really excited to be returning to BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art with a selection of free and ticketed events. Here's what Sarah Munro, Director at BALTIC had to say about the festival:
"BALTIC is delighted to be one of the returning venues for GIFT, as part of BALTIC Live, our live art and experimental dance programme. Gateshead International Festival of Theatre 2018 brings new audiences and innovative performance to BALTIC and throughout Gateshead. We are looking forward to the numerous works our visitors can encounter in the building for GIFT 2018. Audiences can expect the unexpected in unusual spaces over the weekend, happening upon performances and also having the opportunity to join in and dance!"
