As a participant, you will experience the method behind the creation, learn repertoire from the show and discover techniques to devise your own autobiographical dance theatre work with societal impact. The workshop will be led in a relaxed environment with opportunities to play, laugh and feel supported in every moment. Please wear comfortable clothing that you can move in, and bring a water bottle.

Who are Northern Rascals?

Northern Rascals are a multi-disciplinary performance company based in Yorkshire. Driven by social conscience, the company uses theatre and contemporary dance to lead audiences to original narratives rooted in the current socio-political climate. Nationally recognised, the company is renowned for their raw yet poetic interpretation of today’s world and the people that inhabit it and celebrated for their dedication to using Northern voices to spearhead that poeticism.

The Northern Rascals workshop is open to professional artists working across all areas of dance in the East Midlands. As part of EMDAN’s (East Midlands Dance Artist Network) Arts Council England funded programme of activities, we are able to offer this opportunity free of charge to all participants.
