Three works by Ballet Cymru

Posted on October 23, 2019

Ballet Cymru presents Three New Works, featuring some of the most exciting female artists working in dance, at the Lilian Baylis Studio, Sadler’s Wells, on November 10 to 11 at 7.45pm. Charlotte Edmonds, former inaugural Royal Ballet Young Choreographer, presents Wired to the Moon, a brand new work with costumes and sets by Eleanor Bull and a new score from LA-based composer Katya Richardson. Patricia Vallis choreographs Divided We Stand, motivated by the division in our society of political views and gender. Celtic Concerto is Ballet Cymru’s tribute to harpist, composer and patron of the company Catrin Finch, whose spellbinding music is interwoven with mesmerising movement by Ballet Cymru artistic director, Darius James, and assistant artistic director, Amy Doughty.
