A message from Alistair Spalding

Welcome to the new season at Sadler’s Wells – Autumn 2015

Dance has a long tradition of collaboration with other art forms. While the Ballet Russes represents perhaps the most famous example of the creative coming together of performers, choreographers and artists in the history of dance, every contemporary dance performance is, almost invariably, the product of cross-pollination of ideas between dance artists and creatives from the world of music, design, literature and the visual arts.

At Sadler’s Wells, it is an exciting and integral part of our role to actively encourage and support ground-breaking partnerships between dance makers and artists from other fields. For our Autumn 2015 season, I invited fashion designer Hussein Chalayan to take the artistic lead on the choreographic process in his first dance production, for which he worked with choreographer Damien Jalet. Gravity Fatigue deals with issues of identity, transition and displacement, conveyed through images and narratives steeped in Chalayan’s distinctive aesthetic vision.

We celebrate the inspired, 20-year collaboration of choreographer Russell Maliphant and lighting designer Michael Hulls with Conceal | Reveal, a new programme including their acclaimed Broken Fall and two new works.

We welcome the much-awaited UK premiere of Hofesh Shechter’s trilogy barbarians, including barbarians in love, the work we presented last season as part of an evening of our Associate Artists’ work.

After its incredibly successful debut in the spring, Associate Company English National Ballet returns for its autumn run on our stage with award-winning mixed bill Lest We Forget, including choreography by Sadler’s Wells’ Associate Artists Maliphant and Akram Khan.

We also go off-site as part of our continuing relationship with the Roundhouse, where Khan debuts his brand-new work for round venues Until the Lions.

Finally, Christmas at Sadler’s Wells would not be the same without Matthew Bourne, who brings back to our stage his Gothic fairy tale-version of Sleeping Beauty.

“A triumph of storytelling and stage design firmly in touch with the 21st century” Financial Times

Dutch National Ballet Christopher Wheeldon’s Cinderella UK PREMIERE Wednesday 8 - Saturday 11 July Dutch National Ballet presents a brand new interpretation of Cinderella, choreographed by Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist Christopher Wheeldon. Premiered by Dutch National Ballet at Dutch National Opera & Ballet in December 2012 to a rapturous reception from ballet fans and critics alike, this will be the first time Dutch National Ballet has performed Cinderella on stage outside the Netherlands.

Performance Times & Prices Wed - Sat at 7.30pm Sat & Thu Mat at 2pm £10 - £80

Influenced by the Brothers Grimm story of Cinderella, Wheeldon has created an enchanting ballet set to Prokofiev’s magnificent score – performed live by Royal Ballet Sinfonia – with stunning sets and costumes by British designer Julian Crouch.

Wheeldon is one of the most sought-after choreographers in the dance world today. His Cinderella shows a kind-hearted heroine making the best of life without her beloved mother, while over at the Palace Prince Guillaume is struggling against the restrictions of royal protocol and princely duty. Elaborating on the traditional narrative with a fleshed out backstory for the lead characters, the ballet is choreographed with lyricism, elegance and wit to create a truly entertaining spectacle.

Shubbak Into the Night: three works by Nacera Belaza

New Adventures Matthew Bourne’s The Car Man Tuesday 14 July - Sunday 9 August Matthew Bourne’s internationally acclaimed award-winning dance thriller is back. The Car Man is loosely based on Bizet’s popular opera and has one of the most thrilling and instantly recognisable scores in New Adventures’ repertoire.

The familiar 19th Century Spanish cigarette factory becomes a greasy garage-diner in 1960s America where the dreams and passions of a small town are shattered by the arrival of a handsome stranger. Fuelled by heat and desire, the inhabitants are driven into an unstoppable spiral of greed, lust, betrayal and revenge.

Performance Time & Prices Tue - Sun at 7.30pm Sat & Sun Mats at 2.30pm £12 - £55 Audio-described performance: Sat 8 Aug at 2.30pm Touch Tour at 1pm Age Guidance 12+

Thursday 23 & Friday 24 July This evening invites audiences to immerse themselves in the evocative world of Algerian choreographer Nacera Belaza, who returns to London in a partnership with Shubbak, the UK’s premier festival of contemporary Arab culture.

Performance Times & Prices Thu & Fri at 8pm £17

Composed of three recent works, Les Oiseaux, La Nuit and La Traversée, this programme offers a chance to witness physical ideas unfold over a longer encounter. Central to Belaza’s last 20 years of investigation is the search for freedom conveyed by a distinctive form of meditative minimalism, creating a thousand images without ever singling one out.

Her company, based in France, is critically acclaimed and she is known for the exacting discipline she puts her dancers through.

Seen in the flickering half-light, the dancers including Belaza in the solo La Nuit, create poetry in motion, combining Sufi-inspired sensuality with an acute sense of the now.

Featuring Lez Brotherston’s epic design and Matthew Bourne’s vivid storytelling with music by Terry Davies and Rodion Shchedrin’s Carmen Suite (after Bizet’s Carmen), The Car Man is another spectacular production from the UK’s most popular dance theatre company.

“The Car Man is a superbly balanced, eye-grabbing combination of first rate choreography, effectively constructed drama and sheer entertainment” The Spectator

Hofesh Shechter Company Political Mother: The Choreographer’s Cut

Friday 18 - Friday 25 September Hofesh Shechter’s brand new evening, featuring the worldclass dancers of his internationally celebrated company, brings together the barbarians trilogy in the UK for the first time.

Performance Times & Prices Fri, Mon, Tue & Thu at 7.30pm £12 - £29 Free post-show talk: Mon

For this evening Shechter presents a sparse world for three wildly different takes on intimacy, passion and the banality of love.

Sadler’s Wells Patrons’ Event: Fri 18 Contains nudity

Revealing his choreography at its most elegant and intimate, the highly acclaimed and perturbing the barbarians in love opens the evening. Trembling with emotion residing within order, an ecclesiastic baroque score accompanies a truly contemporary confession. What follows, as two more new works unfold, is a volatile explosion of dubstep grooves for an almost urban choreography and a quirky duet which together complete an evening showcasing the singular and wry voice of their creator and the versatility and talent of his individual dancers.

Wednesday 7 & Thursday 8 October Hofesh Shechter’s Political Mother was declared an ‘audio visual marvel’ after its premiere in 2010. Shechter revamped and reworked it into a bigger, louder work for 40 dancers and musicians and it is this version, Political Mother: The Choreographer’s Cut, which the company now presents at O2 Academy Brixton for the first time.

Performance Times & Prices Wed & Thu, Doors 7pm Please see sadlerswells.com for prices

Bringing the atmosphere of a rock gig, and brimming with gritty and emotional complexity, this extraordinary dance work is an experience like no other.

The piece will be performed with a live band of guitarists, drummers and strings alongside the dancers of Hofesh Shechter Company in one of London’s most iconic music venues.

Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo

English National Ballet Lest We Forget Tuesday 8 - Saturday 12 September After captivating audiences and astounding critics at its premiere last year, English National Ballet’s ground-breaking Lest We Forget returns.

Featuring works by three of the most sought-after choreographers working today – Liam Scarlett, Russell Maliphant and Akram Khan – the programme is full of unforgettable and haunting images, expressing the experiences of those who fought in World War I, and those who stayed behind.

Performance Times & Prices Tue - Sat at 7.30pm Thu & Sat at 2.30pm £12 - £45 Sadler's Wells Patrons' Event: Tue

Tuesday 15 - Saturday 26 September The fabulous, scene-stealing Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo (‘The Trocks’ to their friends), storm back into London… in size 12 pointe shoes. Hurtling through the classical ballet repertoire with skill, grace and a wit as sharp as scissors en pointe, The Trocks have been a global phenomenon since they formed in New York in 1974.

Dancers, including Ida Nevasyneva and Olga Supphozova, present two programmes which effortlessly display their startling technical prowess and their no-less extraordinary make-up skills.

Programme One features Swan Lake (Act II), Pas de deux, Paquita and Esmeralda. Programme Two includes Merce Cunninghaminspired Patterns in Space, Go For Barocco, a satire on Balanchine’s choreography, Les Sylphides and Don Quixote.

Through emotional pas de deux set to a score by Liszt, Scarlett’s No Man’s Land evokes the entwined destinies of the women working in munition factories at home, and the men fighting in the trenches. 20 dancers tilt and sway, rising and falling in semidarkness in Russell Maliphant’s Second Breath, set to recordings of survivors and a live orchestra. Winner of Best Modern Choreography at the 2014 Critics’ Circle National Dance Awards, Akram Khan’s Dust, with incredible dancing, a pounding soundtrack and atmospheric lighting, grabs you from the start and does not let go.

Performance Times & Prices Programme One Tuesday 15 - Sunday 20 Tue - Sat at 7.30pm Sat & Sun at 2.30pm Programme Two Tuesday 22 – Saturday 26 Tue - Sat at 7.30pm Sat at 2.30pm £15 - £38

The Trocks combine a genuine love of ballet with parody and preening in their laugh-a-minute shows that will delight both The Trocks initiated and ballet novices.

Jefta van Dinther As It Empties Out

BalletBoyz Young Men UK PREMIERE

Thursday 1 & Friday 2 October Swedish choreographer and dancer Jefta van Dinther has been attracting growing attention internationally with his striking world of sensorial illusions and bodies compelled to move. His recent work, the provocative Plateau Effect for Cullberg Ballet, was presented as part of the Northern Light season in 2014. He returns with another ambitious project, co-commissioned by Sadler’s Wells, presented in partnership with Platform Theatre at Central Saint Martins.

Performance Times & Prices Thu & Fri at 8pm £17 Free post-show talk: Thu

As It Empties Out plays with scale, dimension and time in order to dislodge the senses and create an uncanny, beguiling world. The dancers exude energy and emotion, repeatedly vanishing and dissolving into a space that lacks boundaries, coaxing the audience to go deeper and forget where they are.

Monday 5 - Saturday 10 October Following a hugely successful sell-out run at Sadler’s Wells in January, BalletBoyz return with Young Men.

Performance Times & Prices Mon – Sat at 7.30pm £12 - £38

In an intensely moving portrayal of love, friendship, loss and survival, Young Men explores the theme of war and the bonds that develop between the men consumed by it. Drawing inspiration from images of conflict through the ages, the production is a compelling hybrid of dance, theatre and screen performance from the ever-inventive BalletBoyz and their all male dance company theTALENT. Young Men is choreographed by rising star Iván Pérez (Nederlands Dans Theater I and II, Ballet Moscow, and the National Ballet of Cuba) and features a commissioned original score from the cult singer songwriter Keaton Henson (albums Dear… and Birthdays).

Van Dinther creates sophisticated environments of light, sound and voice, using heavy electronic soundscapes that offer the audience powerful physical experiences. For this piece, he returns to long term collaborators: lighting designer Minna Tiikkainen, sound designer David Kiers and the set design duo SIMKA.

Featuring the ten award-winning dancers of theTALENT and live music, Young Men is a co-production with Sadler’s Wells and WW1 Centenary Arts Commissions, 14-18 NOW.

Robin Dingemans & Nick Bryson The Point At Which It Last Made Sense

Caroline Bowditch Falling in Love with Frida Monday 5 & Tuesday 6 October After a sell-out run and a Herald Angel Award at the 2014 Fringe, Caroline Bowditch presents Falling in Love with Frida, an intimate and enticing performance exploring the life, loves and legacy of painter Frida Kahlo (1907-1954).

The work is a reclaiming of a disabled artist, a love like obsession, and an enquiry into how we shape what we are remembered for and how much we can really control others’ memories of us. It exposes many little-known facts about the infamous woman, remembered for her art. Where affinities and parallels are drawn, happy distractions are employed and a tale of ‘the great concealer’ is skilfully revealed by and through powerful yet fragile bodies.

Following on from the success of the =dance strand, Sadler’s Wells continues its commitment to presenting dance by deaf and disabled dance artists.

Performance Times & Prices Mon & Tue at 8pm Tue at 3.30pm £17 (£8.50 concs)* *Concessions available for Access members, students, under 18s and over 60s Age Guidance 16+ (contains themes of an adult nature) Free post-show talk: All performances All performances and talks are BSL-interpreted.

Friday 9 October The Point At Which It Last Made Sense is a multi-iteration work that combines the skills and sensitivity of dancer and Paralympic athlete James O’Shea and the Netherlands-based dancer Rosa Vreeling. Using dance, sound and video, this collaboration between Robin Dingemans and Nick Bryson shows beauty in all its aspects, from the profound to the superficial and everything in between.

Performance Times & Prices Fri at 8pm £17 (£8.50 concs)* *Concessions available for Access members, students, under 18s and over 60s Free post-show talk (BSL-interpreted)

Through a series of extraordinary images and startling poses of a young couple lip-syncing to perfect advertising voices, the work fast-tracks the audience to a logical conclusion of the advertising industry.

Following on from the success of the =dance strand, Sadler’s Wells continues its commitment to presenting dance by deaf and disabled dance artists.

Claire Cunningham Give Me A Reason To Live

La Veronal Voronia UK PREMIERE

Friday 16 & Saturday 17 October Inspired by the work of Medieval Dutch painter Hieronymus Bosch, Give Me A Reason To Live is a powerful solo taking the form of a series of tests, both of body and of faith.

With a sound score crafted by Zoë Irvine, Give Me A Reason To Live is performed and choreographed by Claire Cunningham and features her haunting singing of one of J.S. Bach’s chorale cantatas. This mesmerising piece is a statement on our judgement of the human body; a study in the notion of empathy.

Performance Times & Prices Fri & Sat at 8pm £17 Talking Amongst Ourselves post-show discussion: Sat (BSL-interpreted)

Monday 19 & Tuesday 20 October Marcos Morau, founder and choreographer for La Veronal, is undoubtedly one of the most intelligent dance makers to have emerged from Europe in recent years. His style is sophisticated, delightfully illogical and a joy to watch. This is choreography which will stretch your brain.

Performance Times & Prices Mon & Tue at 7.30pm £20 Talking Amongst Ourselves post-show discussion: Tue (BSL-interpreted)

Morau’s latest work, Voronia, is an exploration of evil, religion and the deepest cave in the world – ‘Krubera Voronia’ in the western Caucasus region of Georgia. The piece is filled with startling visual images which are almost immediately destroyed and replaced, constantly producing the unexpected.

This evening will also feature the work of an international artist new to the UK, see sadlerswells.com for latest details.

After studying choreography in Barcelona, Valencia and New York, Morau founded the collective La Veronal in 2005. He works with a group of artists from the world of dance, film, photography and literature and all those influences are clearly visible in this great company and Dance Umbrella is delighted to be presenting La Veronal’s first production at Sadler’s Wells as part of their 2015 festival.

Created by double Olivier award-winning choreographer Kim Brandstrup, it is a cinematic love story told through virtuosic dancing to Schoenberg’s beautiful score.

The 3 Dancers is based on one of Picasso’s greatest paintings, and the tragic love triangle that inspired it. Choreographer Didy Veldman and composer Elena Kats-Chernin bring to life Picasso’s vivid Cubist imagery and the themes of love, desire and doom which haunt his work.

They have collaborated with more than 250 artists and ensembles, from 25 countries on nearly 20 productions since being founded in 1993.

Performance Times & Prices Wed - Fri at 7.30pm £12 - £29 Contains nudity

To mark the hundredth anniversary of Stravinsky’s The Rite of Spring, Sasha Waltz premiered her own vision of the piece in 2013. The tension-charged and angular composition is characterised by a strong rhythm and a layering of constantly repeating musical motifs.

UK PREMIERE Monday 16 & Tuesday 17 November Christian Rizzo is a French choreographer, set designer, director and visual artist. This Autumn he presents the UK premiere of d’après une histoire vraie (Based on a true story). Though Rizzo is known for his thoughtful, introspective approach to choreography, d’après une histoire vraie breaks away from his established canon, stripping back his usually detailed set in favour of an explosive, expressive choreography for eight male dancers.

Performance Times & Prices Mon & Tue at 7.30pm £20

Rizzo takes inspiration from his memories of a folk dance performance at a festival in Istanbul in 2004. Rizzo stowed this away in his memory, and has created this piece using the feelings evoked by the masculine, Turkish folklore dancing. Channelling these emotions into d’après une histoire vraie, Rizzo explores dance as it relates to communities, and how movement ties individuals together.

Earlier large-scale pieces of Waltz' work, including her Medea (2007) and Continu (2010), lay the foundations for this new piece, and showcased elements of Waltz‘ research into rites and group dynamics, which now culminate in Sacre.

Initially concentrating on minimal, ritualistic movements, his cast of dancers are propelled by two drummers, whose rapid-fire percussion lead the audience towards a neo-traditional rock rave.

Sacre is presented at Sadler’s Wells as part of a three-part evening, together with Sasha Waltz’ choreographies of Scène d’Amour (from Romeo and Juliet) with music by Berlioz, and Debussy’s L’Après-midi d’un faune.

Nora Nora invites Burrows, Fargion and Tanguy

Wild Card Leila McMillan

WORLD PREMIERE Thursday 26 & Friday 27 November Nora is the coming together of dancers Eleanor Sikorski and Flora Wellesley Wesley. Their desire to dance together, their love of choreographic structures and their critical eye has given them the impetus to invite several distinguished dance-makers to create work especially for them. In their first collaborative endeavour they perform an evening of new works by acclaimed duo Jonathan Burrows and Matteo Fargion, and French choreographer Simon Tanguy.

Performance Times & Prices Thu & Fri at 8pm £17

Thursday 3 December The increasingly popular Wild Card series returns with more specially curated evenings from a new generation of dance makers bringing fresh perspectives to the stage.

Free post-show talk: Thu Leila McMillan is a Californian-born London-based choreographer, teacher and performer (Crystal Pite, Wendy Houstoun). Her adventurous spirit has taken her around the world, leading her to discover the work of Venezuelan dance artist David Zambrano, the creator of the Flying Low dance technique which is now widely used by international companies such as Ultima Vez and Rosas.

Flying Low focuses on the dancers’ relationship with the floor but also uses speed with charged movement, making it compelling to watch. McMillan leads its development in the UK as a teacher and choreographer. This Wild Card is a chance to see works by UK and international artists working with Flying Low.

With Burrows and Fargion they have created a brand new translation of composer Morton Feldman’s For John Cage, the source of their iconic Both Sitting Duet (2002). This new piece, entitled Eleanor And Flora Music, reimagines the earlier work as a standing performance, building silent music from a gestural landscape of touch.

Performance Times & Prices Thu at 8pm £17 Pre-show activities from 7pm.

Extra content to be announced.

See website for details.

The evening will feature, amongst other pieces, an extract from her new work Family Portrait, a constellation of family members dealing with love, humour, dysfunction and harmony.

Up and coming choreographer Tanguy has worked with Nora to develop a complex score of movement and text, creating a unique and intricate portrait of the two women and the political world they live in. The evening will also include a third element, to be revealed closer to the date.

This workshop will introduce principles of universal design in dance and performance pioneered by Jurg Koch at Washington University, Seattle. Instead of using the disability approach of adapting movement to suit individuals, this approach allows everyone in the class to work with the same principles which push and challenge all that take part. This is a professional development workshop suitable for teachers, group leaders or anyone with an interest in working inclusively.
