MOMENTUM is a mixed bill of seven pieces on the theme of losing, finding and moving on after a profound change.
Fabula Collective Associate Artists James Pett and Travis Clausen-Knight and international guest artists from excitingly varied backgrounds, from former Royal Ballet Principal Mara Galeazzi and Joffrey Ballet of Chicago’s Christopher Marney, to current Nederlands Dans Theater artists Paxton Ricketts and Madoka Kariya, Ballet Black’s Cira Robinson, former Northern Ballet’s Mlindi Kulashe and former Ballet Basel soloist Kihako Narisawa, get together to tell stories that demand to be told, in a full programme with all-new commissioned music.
Things can never go back to how they were - MOMENTUM is a call to embrace change and charge forward.
