Our final production of the season honours the return of spring – we celebrate that spirit with stories that reflect emergence and change. Citie Ballet artistic director Jorden Morris presents a new work accompanied by two new pieces by company dancers Lydia Redpath and Matthew Klippenstein.

Emerging choreographer Lydia Redpath pulls her inspiration for Jux from the unique movement qualities and strengths of each of the three dancers she has chosen for this work. Supported by a soulful soundtrack, Jux is a quirky, contemporary piece that explores the interplay of relationships between dancers, both on and off the stage, giving the audience a more personal view of their world.

This exciting debut offering by Citie Ballet dancer Matthew Klippenstein takes audiences on an explosive journey of control, revenge and redemption. The new work, set to music ranging from sensual Spanish rhythms to boisterous rock, weaves an intriguing narrative of the interplay between control and freedom that is at once seductive, sinister and celebratory.
