Freshmess were founded by Stirling born dancers Allan Irvine and Wallace Sulley as a way of creating performance opportunities. The focus of the company is their shared interest in hip hop dance styles and professional training in contemporary dance resulting in a new and accessible form of movement.

Maintain is a humorous and energetic collaboration between Allan Irvine’s choreography and hip hop producer S B that examines how we fix things that aren’t broken and how we look after ourselves and others. For the first time Freshmess has invited choreographer Frank McConnell to make a new piece using music by Martyn Bennett. It will explore connections between modern street culture and traditional Scottish culture.
