QL2 Dance’s newest show “For the win” is billed as “47 young dancers in search of the finish line”.

And if you think that means winning at all costs, the finer print tells us the show, a new contemporary dance work, is about competing and co-operating, and winning, and losing — and what these dancers think about all that.

With the help of choreographers Jake Kuzma, Alison Plevey and Jamie Winbank and Artistic Director Ruth Osborne, it has been created by 47 dancers, most aged 8–16 from the junior ensemble supported by some older dancers from Quantum Leap ensemble.
