Where’s your head at?
Could you be a detective?
Are you worthy to enter?
Shining a light on a local community
Reigniting dance in shared spaces
Strap yourselves in for the ride of a lifetime
When did you last face your fears?
Nothing is ever what it seems
Going overboard is not an option
All male youth dance platform
Can you escape?
Celebrating a city of makers
Bringing dance to the workplace
What is the state of your empire?
We began working with the young people of Holyrood estate in Southampton in 2019, and now they will be on the stage for the first time at Headfunk
09 November 2021
The ZoieLogic Team
Above: Zoie leads a warm-up session with the kids of Holyrood. Most of the young people involved were part of our We Are Holyrood film project which took place in April and May 2021, this will be the first time most of them will have set foot on a stage.
Above: A montage of rehearsal images from our time in God’s House Tower in October 2021. We had Alex, our youth dance co-ordinator, Ollie (from FuzzyLogic) and Eve (volunteer facilitator) with us to help us create the movement for the performance.

Above: Zoie sits down with the group to discuss topics for the performance. They spoke about things they struggle with and how they overcome those things. They used this discussion to create the movement for the piece.
Above: Ollie works with Chloe on a moment during the piece where they have to hold, counter-balance and trust each other.
