Meet the next generation of choreographers with the first live performance of works by BLUE MAKWANA, Elisabeth Mulenga, Maiya Leeke and Tough Boys Dance Collective.

Our 2023/24 Young Associates share their work in a mixed bill, each showcasing their distinct and diverse creative voice as they take the next step in their careers as choreographers.

Across two years these exciting and important artists will develop their craft, presenting their work in the Lilian Baylis Studio, and then at our new venue Sadler’s Wells East in Autumn 2024.

The Young Associates programme helps talented dance artists aged 18-24 and 18-30 for d/Deaf and disabled choreographers, giving them a crucial first step in their careers. Find out more about the programme and the associates here.
