Shotput

Shotput is a dance-theatre company. We make work about the darker corners of contemporary life with athleticism, humour, and a healthy sense of the absurd. We are fascinated with human relationships, and our mission is above all to connect with people through shared spaces. Our productions are physically and visually rigourous, rooted in experimentation and collaboration. We define our work not as a collection of shows, but as a network of relationships with artists and audiences. Founded in Glasgow in 2018, Shotput is embedded in Scotland and committed to internationalism.

Shotput is led by co-artistic directors Lucy Ireland and Jim Manganello.
