Five new works. One extraordinary night out.

In Summer 2027, journey to Sadlers Wells East for a brand-new choreographic adventure – introducing Five Dances.

Five Dances is a building-wide festival takeover created with five of the most exciting artists working with dance in the United Kingdom today: Chandenie Gobardhan, Liam Francis, Malcolm Sutherland, Ray Young and Simeon Campbell.

Showcasing five newly commissioned short length works celebrating each artists’ distinct style and creative vision, this is the culmination of a nation-wide nomination process and an eighteen-month development programme. A choreographic kaleidoscope, the festival spans styles that range from contemporary to bharatanatyam, Caribbean social dance to hip hop, and movement that defies the boundaries of genre.

Sadler’s Wells East comes alive for this evening of immersive experience. Travel from the theatre to our outdoor stage, studios and The Dance Floor, all in one epic night out.

Five Dances is your chance to witness bold new movement and the most exciting voices in dance today: five artists, five new works and one extraordinary night out.
