Emergence, the touring postgraduate dance company of Joss Arnott Dance and University of Salford presents a new triple bill of adrenaline-fuelled dance for this year’s programme performed by a new company of extraordinary dancers.Jason Mabana premieres Our Guests, a new creation for Emergence Dance that invites audiences into a world seen through newborn eyes. This vivid work follows a community of sensual, otherworldly beings as they encounter their surroundings for the very first time. Blurring the line between the intimate and the surreal, Our Guests traces a shared journey of curiosity, connection, and an evolving communal language expressed through the body. Accompanied by original sound by Dylan Jones, whose music deepens the work’s emotional landscape and heightens its sense of discovery. Jason’s unmistakable architectural choreography intertwines with the distinct energy of the Emergence 2026 cohort, resulting in a physical landscape that feels alive, shifting, and entirely its own. Our Guests offers a rare glimpse into a world being discovered in real time.
Faye Stoeser unveils Rapture, a charged new work that dives deep into the pulse of club culture. Known for infusing her choreography with this theme, Faye pushes further this time, exploring the moment when fun fractures into chaos. What happens when fun goes too far? Where does exhilaration become something darker? Yet even in the shadows, Rapture finds celebration—liberation bursting through the cracks. Drawing from Faye’s rich movement background in new way voguing, commercial, and contemporary dance, the piece weaves these vocabularies with the raw individuality of the Emergence 2026 dancers, shaping a world that feels both intensely personal and wildly collective.
Artistic Director Joss Arnott and Lisa Marie Robinson complete the 2026 triple bill with a restaging of Euphoria - a work that pulses with Arnott’s signature, high-voltage movement language and driven by an electrifying soundtrack from composer James Keane, whose music propels the work with both urgency and exhilaration. This dynamic piece delves into the tangled terrain of ego, its fragility, its fire, and the transformative journey that can lead us toward euphoria.
