About the book
Greenwich+Docklands International Festival has invited some of the world’s greatest artists to delight and surprise crowds, on the waterways, highstreets and in the secret locations of London. Above and Beyond is limited-edition, large-format book celebrating that radical, unpredictable journey from 1996 to now.
From disused industrial corners of East London, the enduring architecture of St Paul’s Cathedral, the brutalist Moorings Estate in Thamesmead or the river Thames itself, GDIF has transformed the city into a marvellous stage for daring works of theatre, circus and dance for three decades, often reflecting the unpredictable, ever-changing journey of the city where it happens.
Alongside hundreds of stunning images by influential arts photographers, Above and Beyond invites you backstage at the festival with insights and reflections from the producers, artists and participants that have made GDIF a beloved, landmark cultural event for a generation.
