Suitcase Dance Theatre

With their stylized, signature fusion of multi-disciplinary dance and theatre, Suitcase Dance Theatre embarks on a spellbinding odyssey through a dreamy world of rhythm and movement. Tap, jazz and contemporary styles collide and intertwine, chasing human connection through shiny distractions that shimmer, mislead and seduce. Beneath the polish and pulse, the journey quietly reveals a deeper truth; the connection they seek has been there all along, hidden in plain sight. **** (Mervyn Stutter's Pick of the Fringe). **** (Edinburgh Festivals Magazine).

'It’s a testament to how well-crafted this show is that it can be so specific and yet feel so universal at the same time' (Matthew Palm, Orlando Sentinel). Performed by Landyn Endo and Kapi Lee. Created by Genie Cartier, Landyn Endo and Os Roxas. Produced by Flying Rabbit Circus.

I Made You a Mixtape

Response Theatre Company

Nine girls. One dorm. Zero filter. A movement-led dance theatre piece set at a 1990s college dorm party, where performers respond physically to music instead of text. Using popular songs, the work explores friendship, identity, nostalgia and moments of change. Created by the UK’s first Meisner-based movement theatre company, the piece uses a unique method merging acting and movement, so no two performances are ever the same. Funny, tender, chaotic and sincere, it offers an emotionally direct, deeply relatable experience shaped by music and memory.

Producer: Wangjiayu Chu (Stephanie) Performer: Peiyi Zhong

A one-woman physical theatre performance about living with bipolar disorder. Through movement, Ella's world shifts between emotional highs and lows-bursts of energy, creativity and confidence giving way to doubt, exhaustion and collapse. Past trauma surfaces without warning, disrupting the present and blurring time. Where words fail, the body keeps moving, and the only silence is her heartbeat. The piece reveals the inner conflict and pressure of these rapid changes, showing how they affect both mind and body. This is a non-linear journey through instability, survival and the ongoing effort to find balance and healing.

New York, Finding Sunny Days

Yang Sun and Poets

A solo dance-theatre work following an immigrant dancer chasing her New York dream. Through movement, spoken word and simple props, the piece traces the city’s dazzling promise, restless speed and the collision of visa uncertainty, fleeting romance, friendship, and loneliness. As hope of staying meets bureaucratic scrutiny, the performer confronts her identity beyond ambition and approval. Intimate and immersive, the work blends humour and melancholy, offering a tender portrait of longing, resilience and the courage to seek light in a shifting city.
