Urban Flow
Step into the energy of Urban Flow, a bold, vibrant procession through Roehampton's streets, celebrating movement, culture, and community.
On 13 September 2025, Roehampton transforms into a living, breathing stage, where 100 silks, 100 local participants, and world-class dancers come together in a powerful fusion of contemporary dance, martial arts, and live soundscapes.
As the procession weaves through the streets, dynamic stops will showcase captivating dance and martial arts displays, leading to an extraordinary finale on Bull Green.
Developed through workshops with community groups, the choreography blends their unique styles, skills, and passions with diverse movement forms, accompanied by live soundtracks amplified by boom bikes. This collaboration between professional artists and community performers of all ages and abilities promises to be an unforgettable, immersive experience. This ambitious project is brought to life by India’s Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts, a UK arts charity and silk co-creators Kinetika, and Wandsworth’s Tavaziva Dance, uniting international and local talent in a one-of-a-kind spectacle.
The procession will start 2pm at Parkstead House and finish at Downshire Field (Bull Green) SW15 4DY

From Wandsworth to India (and back!)
In Autumn 2024, Kinetika worked with community groups from Roehampton, Putney, Battersea and Balham in partnership with Putney School of Art and Design to create 50 hand-painted silk flags. These were taken to India in December 2024 for a performance at a festival in Goa, joining 50 silks created there. The 100 silks have been brought back to London, ready for Urban Flow participants to rehearse with.
