Contemporary Seasons

From bold new theatre to gravity-defying circus and dance, our contemporary seasons bring together the freshest voices and most exciting ideas from across the UK and beyond.

Dance and Circus Edition

Aerial Duets. Juggling. Drag Mechanics. Vortexes. Rebirth.

If it moves, flies or flips expectations – it’s probably in this season.

From January to April, Lowry transforms into a playground for movement and spectacle. We’ve curated a line-up of gravity-defying circus, boundary-pushing dance and physical storytelling that’s as bold and brilliant as Salford itself. Come curious. Leave amazed.

Drama Edition

90's Nightlife, Relationships, Car Maintenance, The Superbowl Halftime Show, Menopause.

Not the shopping list you expected to make when you woke up this morning, right? 

From February to May, Lowry becomes a hub for bold new work – a mini fringe festival right here in Salford. We’ve handpicked the most exciting emerging talent from across the globe and brought it straight to your doorstep.
