• Thursday 26 Sept, Uckfield – Simple Cypher open the festival with 'Roll Play', a playful fusion of circus and hip hop at Bridge Cottage. Expect explosive tricks, cheeky energy and jaw-dropping skill.
• Friday 27 Sept, Hailsham – O'Driscoll Collective perform 'One%', a powerful breakdance and hip hop theatre piece exploring mental health and emotional connection. Local students from Sjaan Dance Academy will also perform.
• Saturday 28 Sept, Bexhill – The festival finale at De La Warr Pavilion features Sujata Banerjee Dance Company with excerpts from 'The Goddess of Swan Lake', a bold reimagining of Tchaikovsky's classic through Indian Kathak dance, rich in storytelling and rhythm.
