In this 'poignant and vital' (One Dance U.K.) re-imagining of a timeless text, five dance performers take audiences on a journey of despair, humour, and resilience, in a highly charged and controversial new dance-theatre work. Using the company’s distinct translation methods – now adapted for the stage – 'Grief Is the Thing with Feathers' tells the story of a father, his two sons, and the sudden loss of their wife and mother. In their deepest moment of grief, 'Crow' appears - antagonist, trickster, babysitter - and the centre-point around which this dark, yet tender story about family and loss evolves. Crow lives within all characters, both wreaking havoc, and inspiring change. Performed to live music, within the breadth and depth of Calcutt's animated, cross-arts choreography, audiences will witness a powerful mode of physical storytelling that ‘breaks language.

Exploring the invisible struggle for control and self-expression whilst maintaining a front that pretends everything is ok. Do you wonder how you are perceived by others? Do they see the front that you portray or the reality beneath the surface? We are often perceived in a certain way due to a front that is not a reality, the reality is we have lost control. At first we have to strip back the layers, discover the issue and bring it too light to then overpower and control it. Once this control is restored the path before us becomes clear. “Great, really refreshing and honest. Want to see more like this!

Their bodies become vessels of urgency and resistance, moving with relentless drive, fierce unisons and intricate musicality. The work navigates the tension between despair and resilience, asking what hope can be carved from today’s darkness.

Abandoned by her father, she seeks solace from memories resembling her father. Inspired by personal conversations, the performance draws the audience into a world where hip-hop is theatre.

Two bodies circle each other with animal alertness, testing strength and endurance through dense, highly crafted movement. Visceral and emotionally charged, the choreography shifts between dark humour, exhaustion and fleeting moments of innocence and simplicity. Breath becomes audible, effort exposed, humanity revealed in small gestures. Douglas Thorpe, founder and director, trained at The Place London, and returned to Leeds to build his career. He worked with Phoenix Dance Theatre over three decades, dancing, choreographing and teaching.

Drawing from feminist science-fiction, the work is situated in an imaginary future in which we see a group of humans that have never experienced nature and have therefore a different understanding of the sensorial world. It aims to articulate the importance of a bodily experience, triggering imagination and ancestral memories of what it once meant to be human. In CHARCO the body serves as a technology to rediscover its somatic devices as well as a new pathway to be alive and take care of our environment.

The performers explore the connection between the body and the technology that surrounds it, and look at how humans adapted the way they approach and apprehend their environment. They embrace a new reality where the nervous system is in connection with the technological world. Articulating the organic and the artificial, Ellipsis Land creates a perceptive universe that questions the order of daily life, in relation to the force of gravity, the body, the architecture and sounds around us.

I couldn’t order a replacement. My spine is the length of this light. Claudia Palazzo presents new performance work Our Suspended Corridors. Created and performed alongside musician/producer Conrad Kira with lighting artist Marty Langthorne.The Performance comprises dance, live sound, wheels, text and a lot of strip lights. It explores notions of urban healing and the concrete fetish, the absorption of bone, noise and cement. Navigating the complex tensions between inherent strength and the impact of damage. Exploring the materiality of concrete and its relationship to movement and bass. The work looks at the mass made urban material of strip lighting, held up by concrete, as a central vehicle to unpack ideas about absorbing impact, fitting in spaces, re-building and replacing the self in space. In an attempt to unfix the self from ableist ideals of mobility and repair, Our Suspended Corridors drills through to expose the pipework of the body and city. Get up, just get up…up.

Exploring the invisible struggle for control and self-expression whilst maintaining a front that pretends everything is ok. Do you wonder how you are perceived by others? Do they see the front that you portray or the reality beneath the surface? We are often perceived in a certain way due to a front that is not a reality, the reality is we have lost control. At first we have to strip back the layers, discover the issue and bring it too light to then overpower and control it. Once this control is restored the path before us becomes clear. “Great, really refreshing and honest. Want to see more like this!

Ballet Central’s performance will be the first time that the ballet has been seen in its entirety in over 90 years. Foyer de danse is performed by arrangement with The Frederick Ashton Foundation, and is one of over 100 ballets created by Frederick Ashton (1904–1988).

In this 'poignant and vital' (One Dance U.K.) re-imagining of a timeless text, five dance performers take audiences on a journey of despair, humour, and resilience, in a highly charged and controversial new dance-theatre work. Using the company’s distinct translation methods – now adapted for the stage – 'Grief Is the Thing with Feathers' tells the story of a father, his two sons, and the sudden loss of their wife and mother. In their deepest moment of grief, 'Crow' appears - antagonist, trickster, babysitter - and the centre-point around which this dark, yet tender story about family and loss evolves. Crow lives within all characters, both wreaking havoc, and inspiring change. Performed to live music, within the breadth and depth of Calcutt's animated, cross-arts choreography, audiences will witness a powerful mode of physical storytelling that ‘breaks language.

Loosely drawing on the story of Adam and Eve, the work uses movement, light, and space to explore how we define ourselves in relation to others, and how identity shifts within human relationships. Designed as a multi-room and space experience, The Garden transforms venues into invitations of discovery, making hip hop dance theatre accessible to audiences beyond a traditional theatrical setting. Each performance features two dancers drawn from a rotating pool of four, ensuring that no two shows are the same. With performers representing a range of genders, ethnicities, and movement languages, the piece resists fixed narratives and binary roles, instead offering audiences a living, evolving dialogue of bodies, stories, and styles.

Photo Credit: Romy Whai Zig Zag! is a light-hearted, non-verbal dance-theatre duet where two performers turn simple objects — dozens of wooden reels and bamboo rods — into a living landscape of choices. A rod becomes a line to cross, a bridge to share, or a rule to rethink; the reels roll, stack and scatter as obstacles, tools and meeting points. As lines are drawn and redrawn, they move from chaos to calm, connection to division, learning when to pause, repair and try again. 
 
 Designed for families and mixed-age crowds (recommended 5+), the show blends crisp physical comedy, crafted object manipulations, and moments of partner acrobatics. It reads clearly at a distance with bold images, rhythmic pacing and audience-friendly beats: quick “this/that” prompts, echo-claps and blink-and-smile reveals. Portable, low/no-power and relaxed in tone, Zig Zag! suits village greens, high streets and school playgrounds. It’s a feel-good invitation to collaborate — to build, unbuild and build again — and to notice how small choices can shift the whole picture.

An intimate spectacle of identity, where being British, Iranian, and a Hip-Hop head collide. From Bristol to the Tehran marathon and back again, Bobak invites us to join him on a journey to accept his own heritage, against a media culture which holds fast to the idea that the Middle East is a frightening and dangerous place. A joyful evening of dance theatre, it's through meeting a series of weird and wonderful characters from across the world that Bobak is finally able to truly know himself. “An antidote to the hateful anti-Muslim rhetoric spouted by the likes of Donald Trump, I’m Muslamic - Don’t Panik is so full of heart, it’s brimming over.” The Scotsman **** “(the show is)...so warmhearted that it is impossible not to enjoy.” The Guardian **** GENRE: Hip-Hop Dance Theatre CHOREOGRAPHER: Bobak Champion NUMBER OF PERFORMERS: 3 dancers LENGTH OF WORK: 60 minutes, followed by Iranian tea and biscuits TOURING AVAILABILITY: Spring and Autumn 2026 VENUES: Small Scale (Minimum stage size required: 5m x 5m) OUTDOOR/SITED WORK: No CHILDREN'S/FAMILY WORK: No, although suitable for aged 12+ DIGITAL/ONLINE WORK/VERSION: No VIDEO: Please email us for the link of the FULL VIDEO of the show.

Blurring the line between the real and the imaginary, Reverie invites audiences into a ‘fantasy-like’ world in which they might recognise their own emotions, phobias and behaviours. Reverie explores how memories and the past shape our collective narrative. Drawing inspiration from the use of archetypes in Lewis Carol’s Alice and Carl Jung’s theories on the subconscious, the work creates connections between the known and the unfamiliar to demonstrate how interchangeable these states can be. Presented by Dance Umbrella in partnership with The Place, supported by The Lowry. Co-produced and supported by the Onassis Stegi ‘Outward Turn’ Programme. Supported using public funding by Arts Council England REVIEWS ‘Dreamlike’ The Times ‘Beings reminiscent of the fantasy universes that exist in the films of Guillermo del Toro – “Pan’s Labyrinth” in particular – or drawn from dark medieval fairytales, as well as from mythology, are constantly interchanged.’ Maria Mantoukou, Official Onassis Stegi New Choreographers Festival Review ‘Movement was the definite hero here - a celebration of the beauty of bodies, both human and mythical ones. A show like “Reverie” will challenge your perception but also make hope for more.’ Five Star Review by West End Evenings ‘With its subconscious mysteries and fugitive feelings, Reverie is as much a ‘place’ as a ‘piece’.’ ‘When watching, we exist in our own in-between state, no doubt dreamlike. In this place, the subconscious wanders.’ Georgia Howlett, Springback Magazine GENRE: Contemporary Dance CHOREOGRAPHERS: Georgia Tegou and Michalis Theophanous NUMBER OF DANCERS: 4 LENGTH OF WORK: 50 minutes TOURING AVAILABILITY: Year Round FEE: Price to be discussed with the producer upon request VENUES: Mid Scale (Minimum stage requirements 8m deep x 8m opening x 9m height).

You descend into the underworld and reclaim your ruins, pick up your wrinkled thoughts. And then… HOMECOMING blends storytelling, dynamic choreography, and cutting-edge technology to trace the journey of a woman searching for her lost sense of self. A ghost, trapped in an otherworldly limbo, searches desperately to reclaim its body. At its heart HOMECOMING is a meditation on identity, loss, and self-discovery. The work draws from the evocative imagery of Louise Bourgeois, whose Femme Maison series explores the entanglement of female identity with space, containment, and fragmentation, and Caravaggio’s striking chiaroscuro technique, where light and shadow carve out moments of revelation and emotional intensity. Shaped by these aesthetic influences, its world unfolds like a series of moving paintings.

This heartwarming show draws inspiration from the comforting bedtime rituals and soothing evening stories that accompany their routines. Like a serene fable, Moonlight Dream explores the gentle transition into sleep, the sweet conclusion of the day, and the journey into the world of dreams. The performance is a sensory-rich journey that immerses audiences in a whimsical voyage to the moon and beyond, wrapped in the comforting power of lullabies and the calm of twilight. The story unfolds, following a young child who embarks on an imaginative adventure with two delightful companions: a nurturing bear and a playful fox. Together, they navigate the mysteries of the night sky, discovering shimmering stars, moonlit rivers, and magical oceans. The moon becomes a gentle guide for the young traveler until the long-anticipated sleep is finally achieved. Moonlight Dream is commissioned and produced by Maiden Voyage Dance, supported by the National Lottery through Arts Council Northern Ireland and co-commissioned by Luail, Ireland’s National Dance Company REVIEWS ‘If ever there was an instance of Bart Howard’s famous lyrics about flying to the moon and longing to play among the stars being re-interpreted as freshly staggering aural and choreographic poetry, I think this is it.’ ‘Impossible not to love’ ‘A heartwarming, tranquil and truly moving experience in which a dream actually comes across as a wish the heart makes, in all its care and eloquence. It’s magical.’ Simon Fallaha, Belfast Children’s Festival Review ‘A Moonlight Dream has been established during daytime.’ ‘A gorgeous snuggle of a show’ Alan Meban, Alan in Belfast Review GENRE: Contemporary Dance - Family CHOREOGRAPHERS: Georgia Tegou NUMBER OF DANCERS: 3 LENGTH OF WORK: 35 minutes TOURING AVAILABILITY: Year Round FEE: Price to be discussed with the producer upon request VENUES: Mid Scale (Minimum stage requirements 8m x 8m) OUTDOOR/SITED WORK: No CHILDREN’S/FAMILY WORK: Yes - 0 - 6 year old DIGITAL/ONLINE WORK/VERSION: No VIDEO:‍ ‍https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7JEXcT1h2w TOUR SCHEDULE: Northern Ireland Tour 2026 FEBRUARY 10, 11am & 2pm ROE VALLEY ARTS & CULTURAL CENTRE - MAIDEN VOYAGE DANCE - 24 Main St, Limavady BT49 0FJ, Northern Ireland FEBRUARY 12, 11am & 2pm MILLENNIUM FORUM STUDIO - MAIDEN VOYAGE DANCE - 1, Millennium Forum, 3 Newmarket St, County Londonderry BT48 6EB, Northern Ireland FEBRUARY 24 & 25, 10am & 12pm MARKETPLACE THEATRE - MAIDEN VOYAGE DANCE - 9 Market St, Armagh BT61 7BW, Northern Ireland Dublin Dance Festival 2026 MAY 7, 8, 9, 10 DUBLIN DANCE FESTIVAL - MAIDEN VOYAGE DANCE - THE ARK, 11A Eustace St, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, D02 A590, Ireland https://www.danceontouruk.com/festivals daily 0.75 2026-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6464acffc389a92973873d33/1746607503628-J33T1VR7D21MY14X9Z7D/facebook_1697118659672_7118231582736918491.jpg FESTIVALS
