Led by Black Grace Founding Artistic Director Neil Ieremia (ONZM), Rage Rage is a full-throttle response to the chaos of our times. 11 emerging dancers are joined by Black Grace permanent dancers to push their limits across an explosive hour of movement. Infused with physical theatre from Strictly Brown founders Leki Jackson-Bourke and Saale Ilaua, this is dance that doesn’t hold back — raw, urgent, and unapologetically real.

The performance area has been designed to let the dancers fully unleash their power. You choose how to experience Rage Rage; sit and take it all in, or stand and enjoy the energy.
