Celtic Collective

Bringing together the National Youth Dance Companies of Scotland and Wales for a night of bold choreography, the programme celebrates the power of dance, blending distinct cultural influences with cutting-edge contemporary dance. In a dynamic double-bill of new commissions expect vibrant ensemble movement, intimate duets and striking costumes, as emerging performers push their technique, artistry and imagination to new heights. This collaboration is a celebration of connection, with infectious energy, fierce precision and moments of breathtaking tenderness. These rising stars offer a glimpse of what dance in the UK can become.
