We are delighted to be performing Of Silence as part of Ballet Nights 2023 at Lanterns Studio Theatre
BALLET NIGHTS 2023 is an expansion of independent producer Jamiel Devernay-Laurence’s original one-nighter enterprise and takes place over six nights – two in September, two in October, two in November – at Lanterns Studio Theatre in Canary Wharf. The programme for each month will feature a mixed bill with performances by award-winning superstars and fast rising stars of the dance world.
Performers include: Steven McRae (Royal Ballet), Melissa Hamilton (Royal Ballet), Ryoichi Hirano (Royal Ballet), Sangeun Lee and Gareth Haw (English National Ballet), Katja Khaniukova & Aitor Arrieta Coca (ENB), Constance Devernay-Laurence (ex-Scottish Ballet), Laurel Dalley Smith (Martha Graham Dance Company), Musa Motha (Rambert), Ivana Bueno (ENB) and fast rising stars including Yasser D’Oquendo, Jordan James Bridge, Felicity Chadwick, and more.
Jamiel has designed the programme to give ballet fans and new audiences a double experience: the chance to savour the crème de la crème of the ballet world as well as exciting new talent in intimate surroundings.
“BALLET NIGHTS gives audiences a chance to experience classical ballet performed by world-class performers, exciting new work created by emerging talent, and live music played by our superb house band – all in one evening!” says Jamiel. “We want to celebrate the artists and to present a unique, immersive experience. One of the star performers is the venue itself: audiences will see dance close up but at opera house scale in our 17m x 17x space. Thanks to a unique seating pattern at Lanterns we can offer audiences our revolutionary Stageside seating so audiences can be closer to the action than at any other main stage.”
McNicol Ballet Collective company dancers Winnie Dias and James Stephens will perform Of Silence on 27 & 28 October.
