Ballet Black

Ballet Black, now celebrating its 16th year, has been delighting a new generation of dance fans with its “dash, daring and joie de vivre” (Guardian).

In her second mixed bill, Artistic Director Cassa Pancho has once again commissioned bold choreography, blending the classical and contemporary, narrative and abstract, for her ballet company comprising of British and international dancers of black and Asian descent.

A four-hander characterised by intricate detail and propulsive energy, Captured ebbs and flows to the fiery emotion of Martin Lawrance’s edgy choreography, set to a Shostakovich string quartet.

First premiered in 2012, Captured was an instant audience and critical success, ”…a highly dynamic work, set to the dense and threatening strings of Stostakovich.” (Telegraph)
