In November 2021, the Young Associate Artists introduced their refreshing voices at sell-out performances in the Lilian Baylis Studio.

This next step sees John-William Watson, Magnus Westwell, Olive Hardy and Vidya Patel take the leap to the Sadler’s Wells stage. Under the artistic guidance of Ben Duke (Co-Founder and Artistic Director, Lost Dog) the young choreographers will be creating an ambitious evening of new works.

The Young Associates are collaborating with a team of young creatives from a range of art-forms, giving a platform to a new generation of artistic voices.

The Young Associates programme is supported by The Mohn Westlake Foundation, The Garrick Charitable Trust, The Noël Coward Foundation and the Garfield Weston Foundation
