A community performance project in Elephant and Castle for all ages and experience.
Do you love to dance and move?
Do you want to meet new people?
Do you want to take part in an extraordinary performance?
Join us for EMOTION, a series of 8 free workshops between 26 June – 12 July 2025, leading up to a performance on Sunday 13 July, that will take place at dawn.
EMOTION is the fourth in our rotating series of performance projects – LANGUAGE, POWER, FEAR, EMOTION – made in Elephant and Castle. Check out what we got up to in previous projects here.
It’s free to take part and no experience is necessary, but enthusiasm is essential! Everyone is invited to join us. We will reserve half of the places for people local to Elephant and Castle who live, work, study or have ties here.
The theme for this year’s performance is EMOTION. Annie Pui Ling Lok and Juan Ayala will lead the workshops supported by guest artists Moyra Cecilia Silva Rodriguez, Sasha Mahfouz Shadid and Andreas Levisianos. These artists bring influences from krumping, hip hop, martial arts, theatre, voice work/singing, contact improvisation and contemporary dance.
It’s FREE to take part and no experience is necessary, but enthusiasm is essential!
