For the 2026 BA Graduation Show, our final-year students move as one in the UK debut of one of Australia's leading choreographers, Stephanie Lake.

From darkness they emerge, a dizzying mass of pulsating bodies. The push and pull of humanity is embodied by this heaving throng of life, but can a crowd be more than the sum of its parts? As complex patterns ripple through the flood of figures, a single movement triggers a chain reaction wheeling the fragile whole from chaos to order.

This riveting, hypnotic dance work explores relationships between the individual and the collective, solitary striving and joyous union, with a cast of 60 graduating BA students performing as one for their final showcase before they step out into the world as emerging dance artists. A co-production with London Contemporary Dance School at The Place and the Southbank Centre.
