Audaciousness

Taking risks in order to achieve something — that's how Collins English Dictionary describes audacity. So we're thinking a festival dedicated to the concept will need to be both brave and bold with a decent dollop of daring on the side. On July 19 and 20 join young artivists (art activists — geddit?) on guided walking tours of the events and arty happenings that are taking place across the city as part of the Festival of Audacity. It's £5 for a spot on the tour and ensures you're in all the right places at all the right times, which looking at the programme, could be quite challenging. If you're set on going solo our top pick is Foreign Bodies: An underwater love story. The supremely international dance piece focusses on what it means to be a citizen of the world through a blend of styles, from contemporary to Latin to house, and an even bigger blend of origins in terms of soundtrack. It's free to attend and you can catch it at various spots throughout the festival.
