On Wednesday 20 September 2023 we celebrated 15 years of dance making with a special anniversary event at Curzon Soho, London. 

Over 200 guests enjoyed a full evening of celebration with Hofesh, our dancers and company plus very special guests, director Cédric Klapisch, musician Thomas Bangalter (Daft Punk), actor Nikki Amuka-Bird and journalist David Jays, as we brought Klapisch’s feature film  RISE , starring Hofesh and our company, back to London’s big screen for one night only.

Our celebration included a pre-screening champagne reception; a welcome from Hofesh Shechter Company and journalist David Jays followed by the film screening of RISE; a post-screening panel discussion with Hofesh, Cédric Klapisch, Thomas Bangalter, Nikki Amuka-Bird and David Jays as they spoke about the film, their collaborations, and looked back over our 15-year journey; followed by dancing and music by DJ GOLDEN RATIФ. 

Proceeds from ticket sales contributed to our new creations in 2024.
