Guest performances at Sadler's Wells

[Lynette H]

"Guest" performances at Sadler's are independent hires and discounts for members don't apply.  Quite a few have popped up on the Sadler's website recently, though they don't seem to get much publicity.  I'm quite curious about this one - Fabula Collective, on the main stage on 17 September. Details are a bit terse but the cast sounds interesting

"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."

 

Does anyone know any more about the background to this ?

I don't know any more about the background Lynette but I am really sad that I can't go.  I hope they can do more dates and maybe even tour.

 

James Pett was one of my favourite dancers during his time with Wayne McGregor's company.  He's been putting a few bits of rehearsal videos of himself on IG.

There is a video on Mara Galeazzi’s Instagram explaining a big more ….

Here’s one … there are others.

Fabula Collective is a project by the two ex-McGregor dancers James Pett and Travis Clausen-Knight. Last year they toured to Japan (the creative director Yukiko Tsukamoto is a theatre designer from Japan) and they successfully performed a triple bill called Human, especially Lady Macbeth choreographed by Christopher Marney and danced by Cira Robinson was stunning.   I wish I could travel to London to see the new performance.

Now you are making me even sorrier I can't get to London that evening Naomi.  Let's hope for more dates and, even better, a UK tour!

And I can’t clone myself to be in two places either; such a pity that the show is only one night. Wonder if they might add a second show or even better still, find a few theatres in different cities around the country to do a mini tour. The programme sounds very inventive and great to have a cast of so many artists we don’t get to see regularly.
