Pioneering dance company BalletBoyz will celebrate 25 years of groundbreaking work with Still Pointless, a retrospective production at Sadler’s Wells from 12–16 May 2026.
The show revisits the company’s journey since their debut Pointless at the Roundhouse, blending live dance and film in a unique documentary-style performance.
Artistic Directors Michael Nunn and William Trevitt said:
“Two years on from England on Fire, our most recent production at Sadler’s Wells, we are delighted to return as Associate Artists 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)!
“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. Whether or not we can bring ourselves to get back to daily class and back on stage by May is left to be determined…
“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. Further dates to be announced.”
The production will feature excerpts from works by choreographers including Maxine Doyle, Liam Scarlett, Russell Maliphant, Christopher Wheeldon, Xie Xin, and Javier de Frutos.
Composers featured include Cassie Kinoshi, Keaton Henson, Max Richter, and more.
A brand-new commission by Seirian Griffiths will open the evening, continuing the company’s tradition of innovation and collaboration.
The cast includes Dan Baines, Paris Fitzpatrick, Seirian Griffiths, Benji Knapper, Luigi Nardone, and Kai Tomioka.
Still Pointless will culminate in a performance of Critical Mass, originally staged at the Roundhouse in 2001.
