Doorstep Duets

31st July 2026

ARK - Cliftonville's Cultural Space

From king of dance, Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures, an exciting new dance experience 'The Bench' at ARK, Cliftonville's Cultural Space

10am - 10.50am

Have you ever sat on a park bench and wondered who came before you, who might come after, what they were thinking, and what hopes and fears they were hiding?

The Bench, by choreographer Glenn Graham and performed by stars of Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures, tells the story of three people whose lives overlap in unexpected ways. It is a poetic and moving exploration of memory, connection, and the quiet moments that shape us.

Now in its sixth year, Doorstep Duets was originally created in 2021 by New Adventures and Farnham Maltings as a response to social isolation.

Offering free opportunities for local communities to enjoy world-class dance performances on their street, in their park, or through local community organisations.
