Here at WTM we’re all about contemporary dance, theatre and circus and have some amazing pieces coming up this year!
Kicking off 2024 we have a handful of mesmirising contemporary adaptations of literary icons, Alice in Wonderland and Tess of the D’Urbervilles. On top of that, we will have a whole range of evocative dance and circus pieces that contemplate our cultural past, present and future.
So take a look at all the exceptional pieces we have in early 2024!

Lîla Dance

Set on a large custom-built treadmill, RPM features a diverse cast of acrobatic tumblers, roller skaters and dancers. It seeks to question our perception of our colonial legacy on todays society and suggest untold links between modern-day problems, conflicts, and our country’s colonial past.

James Wilton Dance
Tues 30th April | 7:30pm | Connaught Theatre
Get ready for a folklore-inspired journey into a pagan world of gods, demons and humans, all embodied through otherworldly athleticism. Lore is about connection to nature, making you feel the energy that flows from the ground, through our bodies and back into the earth.

Ockham’s Razor
16th – 18th May | 7pm | Pavilion Theatre
