Boys in Motion
Hosted at The Place, Boys in Motion is back for another year with a weekend of exciting, explorative dance workshops taught by industry-leading male-identifying dance artists from New Adventures and supported by The Place musicians.
Participants will work with artists from Matthew Bourne's New Adventures over two days engaging in material from the company's production of Lord of the Flies. In this ground-breaking dance-theatre show, a group of schoolboys find themselves abandoned. With no adults around they start to make their own rules and create their own civilisation, before order breaks down and the story builds to an electrifying climax. During the workshops, we will explore the themes and choreography from Lord of the Flies through contemporary, ballet, and creative exercises. There will also be a Q&A with our dance artists to learn more about how they started their learning journey and what it is like to be a male-identifying artist in the performing arts industry. The weekend will culminate in crafting a unique dance piece to share with families and friends on the final day.
This opportunity is for any male-identifying and non-binary young person, aged from 10-18 years old with a genuine passion for dance, regardless of their background and dance ability.
Dates: Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 February 2026 (9.30am to 4pm)
Price: £80, Bursaries available
