GuestHouse Projects brings their work, The Show for Young Men to nottdance 2025.

A funny and tender new contemporary dance performance that uses humour, risky physical duets and heartfelt choreography to poetically consider the complexities of modern-day masculinity as it affects both boys and men.

Directed by Eoin McKenzie and co-created in collaboration with Robbie Synge and young performer Alfie, The Show for Young Men is a bold attempt to challenge outdated traditions of manhood, championing boys' and men's capacities for care, friendship, and vulnerability.

The Show for Young Men premiered at Dance Base as part of the Made in Scotland Showcase (2024), Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and has since been performed at Edinburgh International Children's Festival (2025) and in co-production with Aaben Dans in Roskilde, Denmark, with a Danish cast (2025).

There is another showing of this performance before this one at 10.30am, full details and booking available here.
