 ArtLanding in London
 The Dean Rodney Singers installation opened at Southbank Centre. Over 2,000 visitors got involved by remixing the music tracks and making their own dance videos. Visit the website here to see what visitors thought of the installation.
 It's now set to go global as we plan to take the wonderful world of the Dean Rodney Singers on tour. See photos from the installation here and listen to the final twenty-three tracks here.
