Still Pointless BalletBoyz at 25
Play Trailer+ £4.00 transaction fee
Celebrating 25 years. This is the best of BalletBoyz.
With their signature irreverence and discerning eye for beautiful dance, BalletBoyz return in 2026 with their brand-new production Still Pointless, marking the 25th Anniversary of the Company’s critically acclaimed debut, Pointless (yes, it’s really been that long!).
10 world-class dancers will take audiences through a journey of some of BalletBoyz’ best moments. The show opens with an excerpt from Russell Maliphant’s seminal work Critical Mass, performed as part of the original show at the Roundhouse back in 2001. At once looking back to celebrate all the Company has achieved whilst looking to the future with enthusiasm and ambition, the show will also showcase the world-premiere of a brand-new commission by Seirian Griffiths.
With 25 years of commissioning, producing, and performing dance, BalletBoyz has consistently pushed the boundaries of how dance is presented by artists and enjoyed by audiences. Incorporating live dance and film, the evening will feature excerpts of work from the Company’s history including choreographers Christopher Wheeldon, Iván Perez, Maxine Doyle, Liam Scarlett, Xie Xin, and Javier de Frutos, and composers Cassie Kinoshi, Ben Foskett, Keaton Henson, and Max Richter.
Come and experience an evening of dance that could only be BalletBoyz.
Still Pointless is a co-production with Sadler’s Wells, created in association with artsdepot, and generously supported by the Cockayne Foundation.
