Birmingham Royal Ballet continue their Stravinsky celebrations with a spectacular triple bill combining the music of Stravinsky with the choreography of George Balanchine, one of the most important modern dance practitioners. Agon - This masterwork of modern ballet is a chronicle of movement styles, in one sparkling ballet. Agon is a detailed exploration of ritual, ceremony and the power of human dance - a mesmerising experience not to be missed. Stravinsky Violin Concerto - This fascinating ballet in hour movement explores a tumultuous struggle between the sexes. Playful and disturbing in equal measure this is deeply affecting dance. Symphony in Three Movements - Jazzy and intense, this large ensemble work is energetic, quick and surprising. Stravinsky was said to have been inspired by his impressions of World War II but Balanchine's complex choreography provides an intriguingly abstract narrative. Birmingham Royal Ballet website.
