Emma Warren and Kieran Yates, two writers committed to creating and conserving space, explore the dancefloors and dancehalls, front doors and hallways they have known.
In Dance Your Way Home: A Journey Through the Dancefloor, Emma Warren asks why we dance together and what it might tell us about ourselves, individually and collectively. In doing so, she also explores where we dance together, and the threats that have been posed to those spaces in recent history.

In All The Houses I've Ever Lived In: Finding Home in a System that Fails Us, Kieran Yates looks into the stories behind our interiors, finding beauty in a broken system, friendships in cramped housing, and home even in the most fragile circumstances.

Speaking of friendship, Emma and Kieran are old friends who wrote these two books in tandem. Join them to reflect not only on the finished products but the process.


Emma Warren has been documenting grassroots music culture for decades. She is the author of Make Some Space: Tuning into Total Refreshment Centre, which was listed as one of the top ten books of 2019 by Mojo and was re-released by Chicago record label International Anthem.
