Join us for a weekend of creativity, movement, and connection with Northern Rascals’ SUNNY SIDE Dance Weekender!

Calderdale-based dance theatre company Northern Rascals have created ‘SUNNY SIDE’, a show that is rooted in the lived experiences of young people in Calderdale and their mental health, coming of age in this turbulent world.

Company Directors Anna Holmes and Sam Ford are opening up their doors to immerse you in this timely and vital project. Over 2 rewarding days, the company will hold space for young people aged 16-25 living in the Calder Valley and beyond to discover the themes behind the show, looking at the group’s personal experiences to feed into the creation of a documentary about the show’s origin stories.

As a participant, you’ll learn devising and dance techniques, and a better understanding of how the company makes dance theatre with a societal impact. Together, we will work closely with the SUNNY SIDE themes, dissecting the narrative, the thematic and aesthetic content, to put your spin on the raw and poetic world of the work. 

 

Information:

Participate in 2 days with a team of like-minded people. Led by Northern Rascals, you will experience:

  • Northern Rascals Signature Classes

  • Creative workshops in Dance, Script and Narrative development

  • Introduction to Storyboarding for film

  • Insight into Northern Rascals’ Process

  • Q&A with the Artistic Directors on training, devising and career sustainability
