WhyNot presents a year-round programme of performances, events, and interdisciplinary projects, alongside the biennial WhyNot Festival. Rooted in dance and performance, our programme brings together artists from different creative disciplines to explore new ways of making, thinking, and experiencing art. By creating spaces where diverse practices meet, WhyNot fosters unexpected collaborations and encourages the emergence of new artistic forms, with the body and movement at their core.
