mapdance 2026 brings together nine dancers, three newly commissioned works by renowned and upcoming contemporary choreographers, plus a restaging of Yukiko Masui’s For Seasons from 2024.
As the University of Chichester’s performance company, mapdance is an established group of dynamic young dancers recruited nationally and internationally. Their diverse repertoire offers audiences a refreshing mixture of gritty dance-theatre, athletic and fast-paced choreography.
Don’t miss this opportunity to experience dynamic, theatrical, and beautifully crafted work by both established and emerging choreographers.
This event includes curtain raiser performances by Exeter College Dance Academy, co-created with mapdance students.
Cathy Waller | Symphony of Many
Drawn from human and mammal connections found in flocks, herds, and shoals, Symphony of Many reveals how bodies find harmony through instinct, intuition, rhythm, and shared momentum. Conducting bodies as an orchestra and shifting through roles of leader and follower, it invites the beauty of collective movement.
Amy Morvell | This Is Not A Party
Untouchable, self-assured and confident in their own importance. But when exposure arrives, the surface cracks, and the moment slips out of control. Time folds back, the performance resets, and the image is repaired. Nothing to see here. This is not a party. This is just a work event.
Luca Silvestrini | All Human Beings
One of the most distinctive voices in British dance theatre, Protein Dance’s Artistic Director Luca Silvestrini has been using a blend of original choreography, text, music and social commentary to engage and entertain audiences for over 25 years. Created with and for mapdance, All Human Beings is a dance response to Max Richter’s original work by the same title which features readings from 1948’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Yukiko Masui | For Seasons
A contemporary take on Vivaldi, Masui’s For Seasons celebrates the seasons with a global music palette, creating a distinct version of the original Four Seasons: a dance concerto.
Duration: 1 hour 45 minutes approx (including interval) + 5 minute curtain raiser performance
Age guidance: 12+
