Silhouetted dancers perform under a large open curtain held by two hands, with colorful shadow figures in the background against a starry sky.

A show of light, shadows and imagination for children and their grown ups


Sneak, creep and slink.

Tiptoeing through the shadows as fast as light this master of disguise stealthily creeps on a mission only they know.

Jump, kick and twist.

The Ninja appears and vanishes before your eyes – can you catch a glimpse?

Join us on a shadowy adventure into an imaginative, immersive world of silhouettes and movement. Discover the secrets of The Ninja as dance, shadow play and live music draw us into their mysterious world.

Inspired by the Ninja, a highly skilled agent trained in ancient Japanese martial arts & acts of stealth, Club Ninja uses the interplay between light, shadow and dance to highlight the mischievous sneakiness of this enigmatic character.

Created in collaboration with children aged 3 – 5 Club Ninja is a captivating celebration of imagination and creativity.

Brought to you by Ichi Ni San, the creative team behind Club Origami, Club Ninja is the second in a trilogy of playful dance performances for children and their families aged 3+ . Ichi Ni San make imaginative, interactive, multi-disciplinary dance performances for children and adults. The work has a strong visual aesthetic, features live music and is inspired by playfulness, curiosity and the intersection of British/Japanese cultures.

Co-created by Makiko Aoyama, Takeshi Matsumoto and Rob Howat. From a concept by Takeshi Matsumoto.

Relaxed Performances A Relaxed Performance is a less formal theatre experience for anyone who would benefit from a more relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a show. They support noise and movement within the auditorium during a show, re-entry when needed so house lights are left on throughout, and a separate chill-out space for anyone who might need it at any time during their visit. We also provide a Visual Story so people can familiarise themselves with the theatre and key details about the show in advance.
