Launched in 2018, Shechter II is Hofesh Shechter Company’s professional development programme for the next generation of emerging artists aged18 - 25.
Our year-long programme gives young dancers the opportunity to work closely with renowned choreographer, Hofesh Shechter and tour the UK & internationally with a recreation of his most celebrated works.
Due to the pandemic, our 2020 cohort were unable to embark on their worldwide tour of POLITICAL MOTHER UNPLUGGED, causing their one-year programme to extend over two years.
In 2020 they created a film version of their work - POLITICAL MOTHER: The Final Cut.
In 2021 one half of Shechter II worked on a feature length movie with French film director Cédric Klapisch, while the other half worked on LIGHT: Bach dances, co-directed by Hofesh Shechter and John Fulljames.
And later that year, they reunited again to tour
POLITICAL MOTHER UNPLUGGED across the UK and Europe.
