You know that feeling the night before your birthday?
And that sensation as you slip into a deep sleep with nowhere to be in the morning?
You know that feeling when you and your friends cannot stop laughing, your face wet with tears?
And how satisfying it is to cut paper with perfectly sharp scissors?

From the softest new gloves in winter to screaming on rollercoasters in summer, That Feeling When is a sensory dance theatre and live music production, which asks how the seasons can be a guide to what feels good in the cycle of teenhood.

Lyra Young Company are a contemporary performance ensemble aged 12+, who work side-by-side with professional artists to make original and dynamic dance theatre productions with live music. Their show That Feeling When is coming to Edinburgh and Glasgow and they are especially enthusiastic for young people to experience this performance and to share their work with other youth theatre companies across Scotland.

More about Lyra Young Company

Artistic integrity is at the centre of the Company’s ambition – they believe in processes and productions that are approached with vigour and vision, blurring the lines between the youth and professional performance sector. Their works explore diverse ideas and concepts which the young people are supported to interrogate – ideas which ask questions about the world we live in, our experience in it and our visions for the future. 2024 is the first time Lyra’s Young Company have ever toured and we hope you can join them on this journey.
