THEM

Fri 14 Apr, 2023 Archive
Nina's boyfriend dumped her. He slept with her, then dumped her. She didn't say 'yes'. She only remembers fragments. Now, the whole school knows.

“It wasn’t that bad… He didn’t really mean it… Did he tell my friends?”

THEM follows the incredible journey of three young women who meet at a support group for survivors. Each one with a different story to tell. An unspoken bond and a sisterhood develops giving each of them the courage to find acceptance within themselves.

The stunning choreography flows seamlessly from being powerfully gripping to joyful and harmonious. Directed by Emma-Jane Greig and choreographed by Jackie Kibuka, THEM is a powerful portrayal of sisterhood and solidarity.

Set to a driving, electronic score by acclaimed composer C. Bickley, and featuring three compelling dancers, THEM is a riveting hip hop dance theatre show about consent, affirmation and the journey to finding your power.
