Transform 25 is a festival of powerful international performance, happening from 21–25 October 2025 right here in Leeds. Over 5 days this autumn, witness visceral theatre, dance and performance alongside intimate experiences and moments of assembly. The festival creates a meeting point for the bold, the electrifying, the reflective and the hopeful.

Alongside the range of shows and events announced, further workshops and engagement activities will be announced later this summer.
