National Dance Company Wales

National Dance Company Wales brings together three unique pieces of dance created by the very best European choreographers.

NDCWales presents the world premiere of A Mighty Wind, by Jeroen Verbruggen, one of Europe’s most exciting choreographers. This high energy, vibrant piece captures the intensity of nature’s elements during a storm, set against the power generated by an alternative rock music concert.

The rousing sounds of Ravel’s Bolero drives Johan Inger’s delightful Walking Mad along a colourful and theatrical dance journey. The dancers play and dance around a moving wall that adds a surprising presence on stage. It’s funny, with bags of character and packs a mighty emotional punch.

Alexander Ekman’s Tuplet, is a witty and high octane exploration of the simple notion of rhythm. The dancers’ breath and bodies create a powerful drumming soundtrack, combined with pounding electronic accompaniment, as well as the familiar and evocative jazz sounds of ‘Fly me to the Moon’. This fierce physicality combines with joyful, carefree dance that really shows off the personality and virtuosity of the dancers.

These three pieces work together to create a fantastic and enjoyable evening for dance lovers to get their teeth into.
