Emergence | Triple Bill

Emergence, the touring postgraduate dance company of Joss Arnott Dance and the University of Salford, return with a brand-new, triple bill programme of adrenaline-fuelled dance performed by a new company of extraordinary dancers.

New works by guest choreographers for 2025 include Sofia Nappi and SAY (Sarah Golding and Yukiko Masui) who capture the raw physicality of the dancers.

Complicité | Worn

How do the threads of the clothes we weave around ourselves connect us as humans to the greater-than-human world?

From hand-me-downs to hauls, this is a physical, visceral story of fashion and the natural world. A return to the body and the act of wearing. A reconnection to nature and the means of making.

A devised piece of physical theatre inspired by the wardrobes of the MA Interdisciplinary Dance Performance students at NSCD and the discarded garments of Leeds.
