Details
Michael Nunn and William Trevitt - former dancers with The Royal Ballet - founded their all-male company Balletboyz in 2000. The company has since won multiple awards and has produced several acclaimed television projects, including The Rough Guide to Choreography (Channel 4), The Royal Ballet in Cuba (More4) and Balletboyz: The Rite of Spring (BBC Three), as well as creating the digital work for Christopher Wheeldon's Electric Counterpoint (The Royal Ballet). In line with this dynamic duo’s pioneering style, Balletboyz: Greatest Hits is a performance of challenging repertory dance pieces linked by archive footage and special films, to tell their story. Balletboyz have established themselves as one of the most cheekily original and innovative forces in modern dance and have won a number of awards for their work, most notably the 2004 Laurence Olivier Award for the Best New Production for Broken Fall, a piece which forms part of their Greatest Hits! Nunn and Trevitt’s evocative style sets new standards for dance. This show is a collection of some of the most treasured pieces from their repertoire:
