Leap Dance Festival Take Over: Scratch

Three new dance works in development, created for Leap?2026 by female artists and companies.?
Featuring?
Taciturn | Women Holding Things??
In the rhythm of everyday life, their hands gather the things that keep the world moving. They carry the quiet responsibility of nurturing and sustaining the?spaces where life unfolds. Within them rests a living archive of memories, joys, griefs and hopes. In their care, love becomes both weight and strength, something held gently yet carried forward.?
C(P)LAY | Price of Silence
What happens to the body when adapting and complying become the only way to maintain stability within a relationship?
Price of Silence examines the subtle and often invisible pressures that exist within unequal relationships. In many situations from intimate partnerships to wider social structures, stability is maintained through constant adjustment, and this adaptation is rarely shared equally.
Olena Hrabchak | Canvas of Becoming?
Canvas of Becoming is a symbolic exploration of personal growth and self-liberation. The dancer?s white costume represents openness and possibility. What begins as beauty evolves into visual and physical burden.
