WHO ARE WE?
BoxLess was formed in 2016 to give a platform to underrepresented movers, dancers and physical theatre artists, as well as to fuse original new writing with dance and physical theatre, creating an exciting new way of seeing both.
Artistic Director
Zöe Grain
An acting graduate from Italia Conti and an accomplished mover and choreographer. She set up BoxLess Physical Theatre in 2016, just prior to graduating.
A company designed to give ‘unconventional’ movers a platform for expressing themselves through their body and give them a voice.“After the prejudice I experienced while auditioning to be a dancer and being told I would never make it, due to my body type and having big boobs and hips. I am setting up the company to give people a chance to move that you wouldn’t necessarily think could move or would be interested in dance.
Dance for everyone, God Damn it!” – Zöe Grain
"Movement by Zoe Grain is exquisite and executed by the cast with complete precision." - Theatre Weekly
