Joss Arnott Dance Will Perform MEET THE HATTER in 2025

Joss Arnott Dance has announced that it has successfully received funding from Arts Council England to create and tour its upcoming dance and multimedia production, Meet the Hatter.

Following an 18-month research and development phase, Meet the Hatter incorporates live dance performance with digital technologies to create the Hatter's epic, cinematic version of Wonderland, using the power of his curiosity and imagination.

Visually stunning and aimed for audiences 5+, this brand-new, magical production centred around the iconic Hatter character explores how digital projection and animation can be integrated though choreography, new storytelling, lighting and musical interplay.

Meet the Hatter marks the company's 15th anniversary milestone in 2025 and will tour from autumn with dates, collaborators and details to be announced in spring. For more information see: https://jossarnottdance.com/productions/meet-the-hatter/
