About this event

VERVE presents a breathtaking triple bill performed by 18 exceptional dancers.

Alethia Antonia is a British Caribbean, West Yorkshire-based independent choreographer, performer, teacher and researcher. This brand-new work for VERVE explores what you would ask your future self, delving into the connection between the individual with the collective in an innovative and energising approach.

Andrea Costanzo Martini is an Italian choreographer. His work focuses on extreme physicality and theatricality of the performance act and explores the power balance that is created during a show between the dancers and the spectators. Always filled with humour and supported by a wide range of skills, Martini’s work questions and plays with the expectations of the dance medium.

Oona Doherty is a groundbreaking dancer and award-winning choreographer. VERVE are excited to be part of celebrating 10 years of ‘Hope Hunt', which sees the work reimagined from a solo to a collective.

VERVE is the international touring dance company of Northern School of Contemporary Dance. Each year the company commissions choreographers from across the world to create artistically distinct, physically daring, and engaging dance work.

Pay What You Can is an ‘honesty box’ for the theatre. We and the artists will continue to programme and produce high quality events and ask you to pay what you can afford.

As a guide, for those in full time employment we would appreciate you paying £5-£10. We also understand people's income can be precarious, hence the lower price options. All revenue from ticket sales for events at New Adelphi Theatre will always go back to support professional artists, through residencies, commissions, touring work or for more bespoke projects where the student experience is enhanced through co-creation with arts professionals. We thank you for all your continued support.

Please note: checking the Wheelchair User question will also reserve a free seat for an essential companion.
