Sadler's Wells 19:30
ENB brings an energetic triple bill to Sadler’s Wells that is guaranteed to put a pep in your step. First on the line-up is the OG of contemporary ballet – it’s Balanchine, teamed up with is trusty musical companion Stravinsky, who created the banger that is the 21-minute-long ‘Symphony in Three Movements’. When this ballet premiered in 1972 Balanchine caused quite the stir by putting his dancers in leotards instead of tutus, and having their hair in ponytails instead of ballet buns. Quelle horreur! Also on the bill are two world premieres choreographed by Jae Man Joo and Micaela Taylor. Man Joo’s work is inspired by the poetry of William Blake, while Taylor’s ‘Bow Out’ takes its inspiration from the tap dancing of the Nicholas Brothers and Bil ‘Bojangles’ Robinson.
