The Forsythe Programme
Following an acclaimed run, the exhilarating piece is back, combining ballet classicism and athleticism with the music of Barry White, Natalie Cole, Khalid and more, it will leave you “tipsy with delight” (Financial Times) and “cheering and breathless with joy” (The Observer).
ENB will perform Herman Schmerman (Quintet), a classic showcase of Forsythe’s signature style not seen in the UK for nearly 30 years. Created for five dancers, the most intricate steps appear to spring naturally out of the performers, who relish the challenge of surprising the audience, and each other, at every turn and completing this special programme will be a new work from the master choreographer. Rearray (London Edition 2025) is Forsythe’s newest iteration of his 2011 work, originally created for the legendary ballerina Sylvie Guillem and also adapted for Paris Opera Ballet. Forsythe will now continue to evolve this piece for English National Ballet, showcasing the trio of dancers’ skilful response to the work’s ever-changing structure.
