Cycles

Cycles is movement at its most fluid, distilled and skilled. Resolute and unapologetic, Boy Blue's latest production is a celebration of hip hop dance in all its forms.

Experience the connection between the movement on stage and the rhythm, groove and bounce of the music, as nine powerful dancers fill the space in what feels like unending motion.

Founded by Michael ‘Mikey J’ Asante and Kenrick ‘H2O’ Sandy, Boy Blue are the UK’s most celebrated hip-hop dance theatre company. In 2023, they teamed up with Danny Boyle, Es Devlin, Sabrina Mahfouz and Gareth Pugh for our mind-bending opening show Free Your Mind. In 2024, they won the inaugural Sky Arts Award for Dance for their world-class body of work.

Cycles comes to Manchester after its world premiere at the Barbican in 2024. Immerse yourself in the wonders of hip hop, as we welcome Boy Blue back to Aviva Studios.

Suitable for ages 12+
Running time: 90 minutes (including interval)
