About IGNITE

Held at the Traverse Theatre, IGNITE is a hip hop theatre night featuring some of the freshest new dance theatre work from Scotland-based dance companies. Expect a dynamic showcase drawing on hip hop, breaking, waacking and more. Through six performances, explore concepts that will resonate widely, including individualism versus societal pressure, the impact of social media on dance in the modern world, and the 'butterfly effect' our actions have on others' lives.

Don't miss the first edition of Ignite in February 2024!

Tickets on sale now via the Traverse Theatre box office.
