Ballet Central Tour - Quays Theatre, The Lowry

Ballet Central is proud to bring their 25th anniversary tour to The Lowry, offering a varied programme of ballet, contemporary and jazz from some of the world’s leading choreographers.

The 2010 repertoire features David Nixon’s Song to St Andrew, Christopher Bruce’s Shift and excerpts from Peter Wright’s Giselle and Michael Pink’s Dracula. Kit Holder, Louise Bennett and past graduate Christopher Marney are creating new pieces for this tour, and the School’s Director Sara Matthews will be reviving Dances from a Knot Garden. Michael Pink’s dramatic narrative piece I Don’t Want To Set The World On Fire and Phillip Aiden’s Let Yourself Go complete this exciting programme.* Philip Feeney, Musical Director, will provide live accompaniment during the tour.

Ballet Central has been the performing company of Central School of Ballet since 1984. It is comprised of the School’s final year graduate students offering them a unique opportunity to experience ‘life on the road’ of a touring company.

* The company reserves the right to alter the programme, and the final repertoire will be confirmed on the day of the performance.
