What makes something a classic? Who decides what is timeless, and what deserves to be carried forward?
CLASSIC is the 2026 Ettingshausens PRO Graduate Showcase, exploring the ideas, images, sounds, stories and moments that endure - and what happens when they are seen through a new generation.
Drawing inspiration from across music, film, art, fashion and popular culture, CLASSIC moves between the instantly recognisable and the completely reimagined. Familiar references are preserved, challenged, pulled apart and transformed through contemporary choreography and performance.
Because a classic isn’t simply something from the past. It is something that continues to influence what comes next, enduring, recognisable and worth returning to.
CLASSIC asks: what stands the test of time — and who gets to decide?
