Slide, crash and leap – a high-energy dance performance that tackles the ideas of putting differences aside for the good of everyone.
Inspired by movement from contemporary dance and parkour, The Other Side is a full throttle, risk-taking experience dance performance about selfishness and, as humans, our desire for more.
The Other Side is a highly physical outdoor performance that tackles the ideas of bridging difference and divides in order to all benefit. Watch the performer realise that the only way to succeed will be by finding a way to work together, support each other and lift one another up.

Ascension Dance produces work that unifies contemporary dance and a raw physicality to create visceral and striking visual illustrations. With a keen focus on human interactions and relationships, Ascension Dance pushes the boundaries of communication through high-velocity physical encounters, which soar, slide and crash in the pursuit of unravelling what it means to connect with the places and humans around us.
