Ekleido present Femina

Co-produced by The Place Ekleido presents Femina a high-octane new work celebrating and exploring the full spectrum of femininity via the company’s signature fusion of contemporary, club and street dance styles. Touring the UK from October, beginning at DanceEast in Ipswich on October 9, Canterbury’s Gulbenkian on 29 & 30 October, Femina culminates in London at The Place from 5-7 November 2026. 

Femina questions how femininity is perceived, embodied and valued through time. Six dancers commune and transcend through an electronic musical landscape scored by Mercury Prize nominee Floating Points, Ela Minus and Stella Mozgawa. In creating and developing Femina, Ekleido founders Hannah Ekholm and Faye Stoeser have been surveying the definition and scope of femininity, questioning stereotypes and limitations.

Ekleido’s double bill Splice | Rorschach premiered at The Place in 2024 and has toured extensively to venues and festivals including Glastonbury Festival, Sadler’s Wells, Latitude Festival, DanceEast, Exeter Northcott, The Gulbenkian and Theatre Royal Glasgow. Ekleido’s dance film Splice, released on NOWNESS in 2025, was nominated for a Critic’s Circle National Dance Award. They have also been commissioned by Sadler’s Wells Digital Stage to create a new dance film for release this summer. 

Femina is Ekleido’s first work created for an ensemble of 6 dancers, whose different backgrounds such as House, Waacking and Vogue New Way are set to inform and enhance this dynamic new work. Joining Hannah and Faye are Roshaan Asare, Rory Clarke, Tia Hockey and Jasper Narvaez.
