__THE WEATHERING BY KYLE ABRAHAM__

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.



__A NEW WORK BY PAM TANOWITZ__

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.



__A NEW WORK BY JOSEPH TOONGA__

Joseph Toonga presents his second Main Stage work for the Company where the idioms of classical ballet and hip-hop converge.



__THE STATEMENT BY CRYSTAL PITE__

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.



Explore human emotion through movement with bold contemporary works by Kyle Abraham, Pam Tanowitz, Joseph Toonga and Crystal Pite.

Review: ENCOUNTERS: FOUR CONTEMPORARY BALLETS, Royal Ballet And Opera
by Matthew Paluch - Oct 23, 2024


The Royal Ballet season continues with its first modern bill - Encounters: Four contemporary ballets. For some, like me, the four works presented are all new, but in actuality only two of the four are premières. And one of those is in fact a development of an existing (2022) pas de deux into a bigger scale work.
