We’re collaborating with Dancin’ Oxford once again to bring you a stunning line-up of dance to celebrate the 14th year of Moving with the Times. This is a First Look at the works-in-progress, as we see three exciting dance companies workshop new pieces that are often explosive, moving, and thought-provoking. The final pieces will be presented on 7-8 March 2025.

This year our four featured artists/companies are Vita Peach, Juan Sánchez Plaza and the Nomad Dance Collective, and Scarlett Perdereau.

The Moving With The Times commissions provide a unique opportunity for early to mid-career artists to develop new work, and these grants have become a vital stepping stone in the UK dance landscape. Since 2015, this initiative has supported artists who have gone on to make a significant impact in the field of dance, with alumni including Richard Chappell Dance, Justice in Motion, and Body Politic.

‘We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.’

Witness the rise of a king in Shakespeare's thrilling Henry V, a tale of ambition, leadership, and the price of power. As England teeters on the brink of war with the elderly King of France and his hot-headed son the Dauphin, young King Henry must rally his nation and prove his worth on the battlefield. With rousing speeches, heart-stopping drama, and unexpected moments of vulnerability, this epic story explores the courage it takes to unite a kingdom—and the cost of chasing a crown. Will Henry’s stirring leadership triumph against impossible odds, or will his quest for glory be his undoing?
