Oxford Playhouse 2023, Ballet Black: Pioneers
Date: 25 Apr 2023 - 26 Apr 2023
Time: 7:30 pm
Location: Oxford Playhouse
Now in their 21st year, Cassa Pancho’s Ballet Black is excited to present award-winning choreographers, Will Tuckett and Mthuthuzeli November in a double bill of new and original work.
Will Tuckett’s Then Or Now, originally created in 2020, blends classical ballet, music and the poetry of Adrienne Rich to ask the question: in times like these, where do we belong?
“…the piece feels above all like a call for respect across any and all divides.” The Telegraph, 2021
Mthuthuzeli November makes his third mainstage commission for the Company, By Whatever Means, a love letter to musician, performer and activist, Nina Simone that combines ballet, jazz and the blues in a moving and inspiring piece of dance theatre.
