Discover
Think you know ballet? Think again. Experience ballet in a fresh light with four genre-defying works from three contemporary choreographers in this mixed programme featuring Pam Tanowitz’s Or Forevermore, Royal Ballet dancer Joshua Junker’s Never Known, Akram Khan’s Hunting a Whisper in the Wind and Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor’s Chroma.
Or Forevermore
Pam Tanowitz intertwines wit, fun and pathos in Or Forevermore, where the unexpected awaits with every note of Ted Hearne’s multi-textural score. Known for her boundless curiosity and deft subversion of balletic convention, the American choreographer created this work for The Royal Ballet in 2024.
Never Known
Another first revival, Never Known is a 2024 work by The Royal Ballet’s Joshua Junker that is by turns slickly hypnotic and deeply stirring. To the intricate electronic sounds of Nils Frahm and Vikingur Ólafsson, dancers move in a mesmeric maze of groups and duets.
Hunting a Whisper in the Wind
Disruptors will feature Hunting a Whisper in the Wind, a poetic pas de deux from Akram Khan, the internationally-acclaimed choreographer celebrated for his bold and imaginative approach to storytelling through movement.
Chroma
In celebration of his 20th anniversary as Resident Choreographer, the Company revives Wayne McGregor’s Chroma. The ballet burst onto the scene in 2006, electrifying audiences with its radical exploration of the extremes of the human body. With a powerful score by Joby Talbot and Jack White III, Chroma and its success led to McGregor’s appointment in his current role and earned him an Olivier award.
