A new collaboration

Once more to this star is a dance set to the piano arrangement of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring and an original score by Ted Hearne. This collaboration between Tanowitz and Bracewell is an investigation of the virtuosic and dramatic possibilities of performance in an intimate and bare setting, examining what lies between historical and personal and the emotion within.

Known for her singularly witty deconstruction of balletic vocabulary, Tanowitz shares a special relationship with The Royal Ballet. She has created four works including Everyone Keeps Me and Secret Things in the Linbury Theatre, and Dispatch Duet and Or Forevermore on the Main Stage, for which she also worked with Bracewell. This project will see Bracewell push himself creatively, extending beyond classical ballet as choreographer and dancer continue their unique partnership.
