One Halloween weekend, dancers haunted Middleton Shopping Centre and the management were at their wits’ end. We asked what would happen if instead of being scared of ghosts, we got to hear their side of the story, and welcome them in.
A tale of otherness and acceptance that looped every half hour whilst shoppers carried on with their shopping. Starring performers from Tracing Steps and choreographed by Martina Coggins.
