northern rascals present
[we are] sunny | side
Calderdale-based dance theatre company Northern Rascals are creating a brand new show ‘SUNNY | SIDE’ based on their experiences of growing up in Calderdale.
They’re looking for a group of local young people to get involved and work towards a short performance before the show's premiere at Square Chapel on the 5th October.
This is a free opportunity for young people from Calderdale aged 14-30 to be part of a brand-new dance theatre project that looks at the modern young adult experience.
Set in a small English Everytown; a self-proclaimed ‘rain-soaked paradise’ in God’s Own Country, the work considers how our mental health is affected when we come of age in a turbulent world.

Northern Rascals are looking for a cast of young people to be a part of the project. We will work together over a period of 5 weeks towards a curtain raiser for the premiere of the professional show. The project is aimed at young people, aged 14-30, who can commit to all dates.
