The Royal Ballet - Encounters: Four Contempora RY Ballets - The Weathering/New Work/New Work/The Statement

Tour synopsis, cast & creatives

The Weathering - A gentle meditation on love, loss and memory, Kyle Abraham's The Weathering is danced to music by composer Ryan Lott (Everything Everywhere All at Once). The Weathering was the American choreographer's first one-act work for The Royal Ballet. New Work - In a new work expanding on her previous success with Dispatch Duet, Pam Tanowitz brings her trademark wit and light to turn the conventions of dance inside out. New Work - Joseph Toonga presents his second Main Stage work for the Company where the idioms of classical ballet and hip-hop converge. The Statement - Four characters battle for control in Crystal Pite's riveting dance-drama. Choreographed to spoken word, The Statement explores the shadowy depths of human nature and boardroom politics. The cast of this production may vary depending on performance date
