What Doesn’t Make The Cut
What Doesn’t Make the Cut is a striking exploration of the toxic pressures from social media experienced by young people.
Told through the interplay of 6 central characters, the piece presents the anguish of making choices to ‘fit in’, and the parts of ourselves we keep hidden to do so.
Written and created by young female dancers aged between 12 and 21, the show challenges their relationship with social media. It will also have you questioning the honesty of your own profile that you share with the world online.

how we made the work
What Doesn’t Make the Cut focuses on 6 main characters and explores the version of themselves which they share on their social media feed vs the parts of themselves they keep hidden.
The members of the cast contributed to the development of our characters, the content of the spoken word and the authentic representation of social media interactions that shape the narrative of the show.
We worked with Thirty10 Arts to create original visuals that featured all our dancers in the show. This provided young female dancers with the experience of being on a film set.
