Motionhouse Dance Theatre

We make extraordinary work for extraordinary places

Consistently producing critically acclaimed, physically and visually stunning dance theatre blockbusters since 1988.

Under the strong direction of Kevin Finnan and Louise Richards, Motionhouse create and deliver an extraordinary range of dance performance, acclaimed for striking use of imagery, theatricality and immediate impact.

A ferociously energetic performance style with a slick and glossy assault on contemporary values. - The Guardian

In addition to our extensive touring we are constantly experimenting with the performance environment and creating dance in unusual contexts - for parks, beaches, shopping centres and stately homes alongside more traditional venues. From full length touring works to short ‘satellite’ performances, to large scale dance events, Motionhouse dancers perform alongside aerialists, cranes, JCB diggers and singers, on stunning sets, in breathtaking places and in the public eye.

A wide ranging participatory programme complements and enhances the performance work.
