The Place, London's leading centre for contemporary dance and home to London Contemporary Dance School (LCDS), announces its Spring 2027 season. Bringing together artists at every stage of their careers, the season spans new voices, established choreographers, celebrated companies and opportunities for audiences to discover the next generation of dance makers.

Throughout the season, audiences can experience a wide spectrum of contemporary dance theatre, from intimate storytelling to ambitious new choreography. Award-winning and internationally acclaimed artists sit alongside emerging makers developing new work, reflecting The Place's long-standing commitment to supporting artists, championing creative risk-taking and creating space for connection and belonging through dance.

Highlights include:

  • CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED WORK BY LEADING COMPANIES with the homecoming of Lost Dog's celebrated Juliet & Romeo, returning to the theatre where its journey began, another chance to see Company Chameleon and Ockham's Razor which sold out in previous season; as well as Barrowland Ballet, Leading Light award nominee at Fringe 2025.

  • NEW WORK FROM RISING CHOREOGRAPHIC TALENT including National Dance Awards Emerging Artist winner Liam Francis and the first Resolution: next steps – extending The Place's longstanding commitment to artist development beyond the festival itself with new commissions by selected artists for the main programme.

  • IMAGINATIVE STORYTELLING FOR FAMILIES AND YOUNG AUDIENCES in Brooke Milliner's What's Your Power? and Scottish Dance Theatre's Pirates!

  • OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPERIENCE THE NEXT GENERATION OF DANCE ARTISTS. Across the spring, London Contemporary Dance School present experimental new choreography and repertoire by leading contemporary choreographers, offering audiences a chance to experience the breadth of talent emerging from one of the world's foremost dance conservatoires.

  • CELEBRATIONS OF THE IMPACT OF DANCE AS A LIFELONG ACTIVITY, from young people performing on a professional stage to older dancers creating new work, and people living with the impact of brain injury sharing their creativity and experiences through dance.

“There are plenty of opportunities to discover new artists at The Place, and in Resolution: next steps, a chance to experience our curated selection of artists from Resolution 2026 who impressed us with their bold new movement ideas. Some shows are just too good not to bring back and this season we have three such gems; a second chance to discover exceptional works by Scottish Dance Theatre, Ockham’s Razor and Lost Dog. If you missed them first time around, don’t make the same mistake again.” - Christina Elliot, Head of Programming and Producing
