QL2 Dance presents Garden - a double bill of new contemporary dance performance created by James Batchelor (Berlin), Alice Lee Holland (Kamberri) and a cast of young collaborators.

Inspired by the poetic and cyclical nature of gardens, the work invites audiences into an immersive world where wildness meets intentionality, and where every moment teeters between flourishing and fading.

Garden is a living, breathing exploration of lineage, rebellion, and resilience. Movement, sound, and design come together to embody the inevitable rhythms of life; the wild chaos of thriving, the persistent challenge of survival and the tender emergence of new growth. 

Friday 2 May – Sunday 4 May 2025 

The Fitters Workshop, Kingston 

Tickets to Garden are general admission. This means seating is unreserved. Please plan to arrive early to optimise your seating preference.

The venue will open 30 minutes before the show is scheduled to begin.

Please note that matinee performances will be presented in daylight conditions: There will be no blackouts, and no theatrical lighting. This is a rare opportunity to experience dance up close, and unfiltered. This will also make for a more accessible experience for audience members less familiar, or comfortable with traditional theatre performances and expectations.

Garden is a contemporary dance performance. While the overall work is abstract, Garden will include moods, sounds and choreographic qualities that some audience members may find unsettling. The performance is suitable for audiences aged 8+ but recommended for school groups in Years 10-12.
