About The Box

1 in 4 of us live in The Box at some point. What are we going to do about it?

The Box is a new dance theatre piece which explores the impact depression can have and how our society responds to it. A beautiful combination of exquisite choreography and thought-provoking social commentary, presented with feeling and humour, this is a powerful and inspiring new work.

Performed by four talented dancers, The Box offers an innovative and playful way to connect with a sometimes difficult to talk about subject matter.

While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for The Box are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment.
