Presented in partnership with The Blue Room Theatre

From 7 to 11 July 2026, five dance and movement artists presented new ten-minute works as part of 600 Seconds – MOVES. Mentored by Adelina Larsson and Anthony Coxeter, the program brought together distinct approaches to performance, spanning theatrical labour, intimacy, club culture, disappearance and K-pop.

Night Life

Phasing / Things Dying / Disappearing. Fassung Two.
By Lara Dorling
