English National Ballet’s platform for emerging dance makers, Choreographics, at Sadler’s Wells’ Lilian Baylis Studio on 19th and 20th June, will this year be live streamed for the first time, in partnership with ArtStreamingTV, on Saturday 20th June at 2.15pm.
Together with being able to watch the full programme of performances, audiences will also get an insight into Choreographics, with live interviews from some of the artists and collaborators involved.
Tamara Rojo, Artistic Director of English National Ballet said: “Choreographics is a wonderful platform for up and coming dance makers, offering them an incredible opportunity to develop as creators, and work with leading figures in the dance world. I am thrilled that this year we are able to live stream the programme, allowing audiences around the world the opportunity to see what these talented choreographers produce.”
This year sees six works, inspired by the theme of post war America, from English National Ballet company members Fabian Reimair, who created We Are Free for last year’s programme; James Streeter, whose work In Living Memory was performed at Latitude Festival in 2014; Stina Quagebeur, whose Vera was selected by The Breaking Glass Project and performed in New York and who recently worked on English National Ballet’s second Dance Journeys project at Sadler’s Wells; and Max Westwell, making his debut as a choreographer in a professional setting.
For the first time, this year’s Choreographics is open to artists outside of English National Ballet, and sees work presented by Morgann Runacre-Temple, choreographer in residence at Ballet Ireland since 2009, who has created four full length ballets for the company; and Renato Paroni de Castro, who has previously choreographed works for Sarasota Ballet and London Studio Centre’s classical ballet performance group, Images of Dance.
Each choreographer will receive mentoring from award-winning choreographer Russell Maliphant and dancer, choreographer and teacher Kerry Nicholls, and musical guidance from English National Ballet’s Music Director Gavin Sutherland. Each piece created will be performed by English National Ballet company members (see below for casting).
The winning piece from English National Ballet School’s Choreographic Competition, which will also be live streamed on ArtStreamingTV on Tuesday 19 May at 7pm, will open Choreographics.
Choreographics offers emerging artists the opportunity to discover a choreographic language and progress their skills as creators. It is vital to English National Ballet’s commitment to the development of talent both within and outside of the Company.
