Tangled Dance Company

Tangled creates visually striking, immersive entertainment that brings events and spaces to life. We combine highly skilled dancers and physical theatre performers with extraordinary characters, intricately crafted costumes and bespoke sculptural props. From roaming performers and interactive guest welcomes to striking living installations, visual focal points and bespoke choreographed performances, we create unexpected moments that capture attention and engage audiences. Our distinctive aesthetic draws on vintage, eclectic and steampunk-inspired influences, offering a refreshing alternative to conventional event entertainment. Every creation has its own identity, combining movement, visual storytelling and exceptional attention to detail. Whether you're looking for performers to welcome guests, animate a venue, create a memorable photo opportunity or deliver a standout featured performance that responds to your venue, we offer original concepts that can be adapted to your event, alongside completely bespoke creations developed around your theme, setting or brand. Tangled brings creativity, craftsmanship and professional performance together to give your guests something genuinely different to experience and remember.

Tangled grew from a passion for combining movement, physical storytelling and visual creativity to create experiences beyond traditional performance.

We are inspired by unusual spaces, intriguing objects, imaginative characters and the possibilities of bringing environments to life through movement. We love creating work that invites curiosity, encourages interaction and allows audiences to experience a familiar space in a completely different way.

Our creative process brings together dance, theatre, making and storytelling. We have a particular love of transforming found, reclaimed and everyday materials into distinctive costumes, props and sculptural creations, giving each performance its own visual identity.

For us, performance isn't just about watching something happen; it's about creating moments that people discover, connect with and remember.
