THIS IS DANCE Spring Season Launches

Published on: Monday January 12, 2026

The THIS IS DANCE Spring Season has arrived, bringing a bold programme of performances by local, national and international artists.

This season continues our commitment to celebrating dance in all its forms — work that invites curiosity, challenges expectations of what dance can be, and creates moments of shared joy for audiences.

Across theatres and venues, the Spring Season offers a rich mix of styles, perspectives and voices. From powerful storytelling to playful experimentation.

Coming up…

ACE dance & music — The World as We See It

Saturday 24 January | Birmingham Rep

Kicking off the Spring Season, ACE dance & music presents The World as We See It, a vibrant and thought-provoking work that reflects on identity, connection and how we experience the world around us. Known for their dynamic fusion of contemporary dance and live music, ACE dance & music brings energy, precision and emotional depth to the stage.

Ebnflōh Dance Company – La Probabilité du Néant

Wednesday 5 February | Patrick Studio

Will indifference to the Other get the better of us? With its incisive dance, artist Alexandra ‘Spicey’ Landé challenges our perceptions, judgements, and the consequences of our choices. In the strange possibility of our own self-destruction, the performance reminds us of our luminous capacity for resistance and resilience.

There will be a 20 minute post show talk.
