Bringing new dance to London

This explosive new work explores the awesome forces of nature.  With unpredictable twists and turns, the 11 dancers whirl like the turbulent forces of a storm.

An extraordinary live score created and performed by New York composer and IT boy, Nico Muhly, fuses stunning classical phrases with electronic landscapes, acoustic instruments and a live young people's choir.  Featuring a special appearance by Stephen Petronio, this visual spectacle brings fashion, music and dance together in an exhilarating way.
