VERVE presents a bold triple bill of contemporary dance, performed by 18 exceptional dancers from across the globe.

This year’s programme brings together three distinct choreographic voices.

West Yorkshire-based Alethia Antonia creates a new work exploring the relationship between the individual and the collective, asking what we might say to our future selves.

Italian choreographer Andrea Costanzo Martini blends extreme physicality with sharp theatricality and humour, playfully challenging the expectations between performer and audience.

Celebrating 10 years of Hope Hunt, Oona Doherty reimagines her iconic solo as a powerful ensemble work — full of raw energy, swagger and humanity, and unafraid to confront the masks we wear.

VERVE is the international touring company of Northern School of Contemporary Dance, known for producing physically daring, visually striking and emotionally resonant work by leading choreographers from around the world.
