One stage, three moods. Explosive energy. Deep resonance. Unstoppable drive. Feel the pulse of ballet now.
George Balanchine – Symphony in Three Movements
A rhythm that ignites the night.
In this 21-minute corker, no tutus – only leotards, no tiaras – only ponytails, and no story – only the bold propulsion of Stravinsky’s percussive music driving 32 dancers to an explosive conclusion.
𝐆𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 revolutionised ballet in the 20th century, combining speed and precision to create the neo-classical style. It’s fast, sharp, dynamic – and breathtaking to watch.
𝐉𝐚𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐧 𝐉𝐨𝐨 – Auguries of Innocence (world premiere)
A rhythm that spins poetry into motion.
Step inside a poetic meditation on our connection to the natural and spiritual worlds. For this new work, Jae Man Joo draws inspiration from the poetry of William Blake and the music of Peteris Vasks – both rich with anguish, yearning and lyricism.
Hailing from Korea, Jae Man Joo has choreographed for Complexions Contemporary Ballet, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and more. His recent work Divine, for Gwangju City Ballet, received the 2024 Korea Dance Artwork of the Year prize.
𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐞𝐥𝐚 𝐓𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐨𝐫 – Bow Out (world premiere)
A rhythm that won’t let you sit still.
The legendary Nicholas Brothers and Bil ‘Bojangles’ Robinson wowed the world in the 1930s with their impeccable style and seemingly impossible tap routines.
Choreographer Micaela Taylor draws from their infectious energy to explore the idea of vitality and freedom of expression. Bow Out showcases her distinctive storytelling and versatile movement styles, inviting audiences to experience something fresh and memorable.
LA-based, Taylor has worked around the world with Paris Opera Ballet, Acosta Danza, NDT2, Ballet BC and many more.
Experience all the music played live by the English National Ballet Philharmonic – adding extra richness and atmosphere.
