Ballet Black: Pioneers

Company: Ballet Black
Running time: 1h 30min approx
Age recommendation: 7+

Now in its 21st year, Cassa Pancho’s Ballet Black presents 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?

Mthuthuzeli November’s By Whatever Means is a love letter to musician, performer and activist Nina Simone that combines ballet, jazz and the blues.
