Northern Rascals SUNNY | SIDE Summer Intensive

SUNNY | SIDE returns!

Northern Rascals are back…and this time they’re bringing you the opportunity to join the team in the studio for 3 full days, exploring the themes behind their next new work SUNNY | SIDE.

Following their previous sold-out intensives, this will be the only opportunity to join the company at their homebase of The Middle Floor this year!

Over 3 challenging and rewarding days, the company will open up their studio for dance artists and those in training to join the collaborative team, working closely together to discover the method behind Sunny Side’s creation before its pilot premiere in October ‘23.

As a participant, you’ll learn devising techniques, company repertoire and a better understanding of how the company makes dance theatre with a societal impact. Together, we will work closely with the SUNNY SIDE script, dissecting the narrative and the thematic & aesthetic content, to put your spin on the raw and poetic world of the work.

The 3 days will consist of:
Morning Class
Creative workshops in movement, script and narrative development
Insight into Northern Rascals process
Q&A with the Artistic Directors on training, devising and career sustainability,
