about


























Founded in 2002, Instant Dissidence is a Leeds-based performance company which works from a place of dissent, of rebellion, of non-conformism, of protest. The company creates conceptually-driven cutting-edge performance work, which challenges audiences and invites them to surrender boundaries. The company is known for its risk-taking approach to performance and for its aesthetic of hyper-romanticism which surprises and wonders.
