NSCD CAT Alumni Max Cookward Collaborates on Viral GENER8ION Film

Max Cookward, an alumnus of the Northern School of Contemporary Dance CAT programme, has recently worked as Second Choreographer on the striking film GENER8ION – STORM I & II.

Directed by Romain Gavras and choreographed by internationally acclaimed artist Damien Jalet, the project stars Yung Lean and has taken the internet by storm. The powerful 7-minute film has gained widespread attention for its bold visual language and extraordinary choreography, blending cinematic storytelling with large-scale movement.

In addition to his role as Second Choreographer, Max also performs in the film, showcasing his continued development as both a performer and creative artist working at an international level. We are incredibly proud to see Max contributing to such a high-profile and innovative project, highlighting the exciting pathways CAT alumni go on to pursue.
