Our Mighty Groove Cast & Creatives Announcement

Uchenna & Sadler’s Wells are thrilled to officially introduce the cast for Vicki Igbokwe-Ozoagu’s immersive production Our Mighty Groove, the opening show of Sadler’s Wells East, 6-9 February 2025.

💜 Uchenna’s professional dancers: Iona Brie, Angelika Napierała, Shanelle Clemenson, Cache Thakeke, Dani Harris-Walters, Kabuki Johnson and recent graduate Shula Carter join young east London dancers  Bertie Jeffery, Holly Clayton, Kezia Adewale, Lilia Rowe, Thea Petrie, Victoria Morini, Sofia Whiteoak, Reo Greenidge, Riley-Ann Nicholls Murphy, Eli Follant, Shaniya Mohammed, Beatrix Walters, Amari Webb-Martin and Jandice Stewart.

The young cast were invited to join the production following an open call out to dancers under the age of 21 who live or study in east London and Our Mighty Groove will be the first professional performance many take part in.

Our Mighty Groove is a remixed take on a Uchenna classic. The first iteration of Our Mighty Groove premiered at Sadler’s Wells’ Lilian Baylis Studio in 2013 as part of their Wild Card programme to sold out audiences. In 2015, Our Mighty Groove was developed into a full-length production and toured to Stratford East, Greenwich Dance, Platform Theatre, Pavilion Dance South West, and Trinity Centre (Bristol). This remixed version sees a young cast join Uchenna for the first time in a new formation and larger scale iteration.

Creative Team: Artistic Director and Choreographer, Vicki Igbokwe-Ozoagu; Associate Choreographer, Kloé Dean; Rehearsal Director, Joanne Bernard; Executive Producer, Grace Okereke; Costume Designer, Jodie-Simone Howe; Composer and Musical Director, Kweku Aacht; Set Designer, Simon Kenny; Lighting Designer, Matt Daw; Sound Design, Mark WebberDramaturg, Gail Babb.
