Apocalypse Wow! is a cabaret game show for the end of the world. Hosted by punk drag alien Niche Lorraine and starring you the audience as the contestants.
We will sing, dance and scream into the black velvet void as we ask ourselves what can we wave goodbye to as our time here ticks down.
Hilarious, absurd and just a touch harrowing, this doomsday cabaret promises to lift your spirits high above the rising sea levels.
This event is followed by the Ageless Closing party with a playlist curated by Carl Harrison.

40/40 is an inspiring, insightful and moving celebration of Katherina Radeva’s 40 years as a woman, a migrant and an artist. Claiming space on a dance floor for one, she writes stories of her past, present and future, in speech, in electrical tape and in movement.
From the little girl dancing at her parents’ student parties, to the teenage rhythm gymnast who was body-shamed, to the creative who refuses to be categorised we see a choreography of all the joys and sorrows of 40 years.
Being different is a complicated business. It can be exciting, distressing, temporary, permanent, liberating, dangerous, painful, a cause for celebration. It’s about bodies and language, memories and labels, perceptions and assumptions, acceptance and resistance.
Join DAR, a queer, neurodivergent, curious, middle-aged Talking Heads fanatic, to consider some tricky questions around the subjects of difference, identity, positioning, labelling and belonging.
How To Change The World By Doing Nothing explores our experience and understanding of time, how time is spent, who controls it, and how we would spend it if we could choose. It explores radical notions of rest, doing less and ‘wasting time’.
Co-created by Fevered Sleep and Yorkshire Dance’s Company of People, How To Change The World By Doing Nothing is a durational performance installation bringing together an intergenerational community from Leeds.
This work is part of Fevered Sleep’s ongoing research and development process for their new show.
One Woman Wrestling Invites…
by Lisa Kendall
Lisa has realised that 33 years of dancing, practicing, making, performing and being are in danger of becoming wedged, stuck inside her.
One Woman Wrestling Invites… invites you to be with Lisa, and dance pals Leen and Rachel, as they navigate the transient energies of this critical impasse, wrestling with what was there and what is now, reflecting as they dance, upon the facts and fictions of living.
This triple bill, unites and celebrates the creativity of older adults in the North with works created by community dance companies from Leeds, Sheffield and Liverpool.
Footsteps in the Dust
by The Performance Ensemble
What would you take with you if you had minutes to leave your home?
Inspired by witnessing walls that divide borders and people, The Performance Ensemble’s latest work explores migration and journeys through life.
Mechanisms is a work-in-progress which boldly embodies ideas of effort and persistence, success and failure, visibility and joy. Drawing on knowledge of anatomy and physical practices in dance and kayaking, Christine playfully constructs and situates herself within a precarious structure of hard and fluid materials to build an environment of complex environmental interaction.
