Meet the Hatter | Joss Arnott Dance

Fri 31st Oct - Sat 1st Nov

Curiouser and curiouser… In celebration of their 15th anniversary, Joss Arnott Dance return with the company’s most ambitious production to date, their brand-new, cinematic dance and multimedia show Meet the Hatter.

Integrating dance, storytelling, original music, digital projection, lighting and animation, this epic production features a new retelling of the iconic Hatter character from Lewis Caroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – but with a twist.

With no one arriving at the iconic tea party, the lonely Hatter uses the power of his imagination to create his own magical version of Wonderland shown through breath-taking and immersive multimedia – but what adventures lie ahead and who will he meet along the way?

For audiences aged 5+, Meet the Hatter takes us on a journey through a spectacular world that celebrates the importance of play, whilst exploring how developing self-belief can open up opportunities we’ve only ever dreamed of.
