BalletBoyz have announced the full company cast for their 25th anniversary production Still Pointless, marking a major milestone for the pioneering dance company as they prepare for a nationwide UK tour.
BalletBoyz will mark 25 years on stage and screen with a major UK tour of Still Pointless, a retrospective celebrating a quarter century of daring dance across live performance and film.
The tour opens at Sadler’s Wells from Tuesday 12 to Saturday 16 May 2026, before travelling to venues across England in one of the largest UK dance tours of the year.
First performed in 2001 as Pointless at the Roundhouse, the anniversary production revisits defining moments from the company’s history while also looking forward with a brand new commission.
Rehearsal images released today introduce the ten dancers who will perform in Still Pointless, including Joshua Attwood, Dan Baines, Paris Fitzpatrick, Seirian Griffiths, JJ James, Dylan Jones, Benji Knapper, Luigi Nardone, Yasset Roldan and Kai Tomioka.
Some dancers are new to the company while others return for the anniversary project, which blends live dance with film to chart BalletBoyz’ evolution as a creative force.
The opening section sees founders Michael Nunn OBE and William Trevitt OBE return to the stage to perform an excerpt from Russell Maliphant’s Critical Mass, the work that sparked the original Pointless, with evening performances only at Sadler’s Wells.
Alongside this historic moment, the programme includes the world premiere of a new commission by rising choreographer Seirian Griffiths.
The show also features excerpts from works by choreographers Christopher Wheeldon, Maxine Doyle, Liam Scarlett, Xie Xin and Javier de Frutos, with music by composers including Cassie Kinoshi, Keaton Henson and Max Richter.
Artistic Directors Michael Nunn and William Trevitt said: “We are delighted to return as Associate Artists to Sadler’s Wells with Still Pointless. Here are some of our favourite thought-provoking, ambitious, and entertaining BalletBoyz moments to celebrate a quarter of a century since we first started (which makes us sound far too old)!”
They added: “25 years on we are still relentlessly referred to as ‘the boyz’ even well into our 50s, and we still relentlessly pursue new collaborations, new opportunities, and new ways of producing, presenting, and sharing exciting and moving works of art. Still Pointless showcases some of our greatest achievements, and highlights the values with which we approach the next decades of creating.”
The founders also reaffirmed their commitment to audiences beyond London as the tour heads to 19 regional venues nationwide.
“Despite the ongoing challenges for touring dance in the UK, we remain committed to our regional audiences, so our week at Sadler’s Wells will be followed by a national tour to 19 regional venues,” they said. “With Still Pointless, we want to underline to our audiences and collaborators that radical ideas are indeed worth pursuing, artistic risks are always worth taking, and culture and creativity most certainly warrants continued investment.”
