H.O.H.

Far From The Norm

Dance, Theatre

H.O.H. is an interactive, immersive dance piece that is centred on the nation’s favourite sport, football, tackling socio-political issues that affect our everyday life.

About H.O.H.

Using the concept of football; the athleticism, the skill, the flamboyant characters are used as a forum to communicate with the audience wider issues that are happening in modern society. H.O.H. explores the connection of multi-cultural British people and football, creating a frenzied public disorder as these characters’ voices and stories are exposed.

H.O.H. will comically force the audience to look at the nation’s beloved game from a different perspective; through hip hop theatre and contemporary movement the dancers will combine fast-paced footwork, physical floor work with thrilling vitality: performing a fury of scenes that are ironic, amusing yet demanding.

‘They are funny, ironic, self-mocking, serious and demanding!’
