Jan McNulty Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 And the official announcement which also gives information about performances in Dublin: English National Ballet Akram Khan’s Giselle National Tour Wednesday 20 Sept - Saturday 28 Oct 2017 http://giselle.ballet.org.uk ★★★★ “Earthbound, visceral, feral and intense, and moulded with a sculptural beauty” The Times Due to popular demand, English National Ballet today announces an additional matinee performance of Akram Khan’s Giselle at Sadler’s Wells, London on Friday 22 September 2017 (see below for on sale dates). Following its critically acclaimed world premiere in 2016, Akram Khan’s reimagining of the iconic romantic ballet, Giselle, returns to London this autumn with performances at Sadler’s Wells (20 - 23 September) and tours to Liverpool for the first time, at the Liverpool Empire Theatre (25 - 28 October). Hailed as “a masterpiece of 21st century dance” (Mail on Sunday), Khan’s Giselle is one of a community of migrant workers cast out of their jobs in a condemned garment factory. Since its world premiere last year, Khan’s reimagined Giselle has been seen by over 40,000 people in the UK, won the 2017 South Bank Sky Arts Award for Best Dance Production and was nominated for Best New Dance Production at the 2017 Olivier Awards. His first full length ballet, Khan’s Giselle sees set and costume designs from Academy-Award winning designer Tim Yip, known for his work on the hit film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and an adaptation of the original Adolphe Adam score by composer Vincenzo Lamagna, orchestrated by Music Director, Gavin Sutherland and performed live by English National Ballet Philharmonic. Giselle also features dramaturgy from Ruth Little and lighting design from Mark Henderson. To coincide with these performances English National Ballet presents Giselle Explored, a series of collaborative dance workshops that offer secondary school students the opportunity to creatively engage with Khan’s reimagined Giselle, delving deeper into the work and both the creative and production process. Teachers also receive a comprehensive resource pack to encourage further dance and creative work with their students beyond the workshop. English National Ballet has partnered with Queens Theatre, Hornchurch, to deliver workshops in the East London Borough of Havering, and will also work with schools in Tower Hamlets and Liverpool. Following its national tour, Akram Khan’s Giselle will tour to Bord Gáis Energy Theatre, Dublin, from 2 - 6 May 2018, where it opens the 2018 Dublin Dance Festival. Co-produced by Manchester International Festival and Sadler’s Wells. Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Denver Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 ENB has only announced their schedule for the 2017-18 season through January 2018. Does anyone know when they typically announce their spring schedule? (I'm planning a trip to London next spring and am hoping I can combine visits to the Royal Ballet and ENB.) https://www.ballet.org.uk/whats-on/season-overview/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) I thought they usually announced the second half of their annual schedule - i.e. from the end of the Coliseum season in January 2018 (which is on sale now) to end July 2018 - earlier than this. However, we do know about the Khan in Dublin and in New Zealand and there are two 'season preview' events scheduled for end September, so more will doubtless be revealed then.
