DANSOX presents Susie Crow and Yolande Yorke with dancers of Yorke Dance Company in ‘Sea of Troubles’: a rehearsal/lecture demonstration on the reconstruction of Kenneth MacMillan’s 1988 work based on Hamlet.

‘Sea of Troubles’ was originally created for Dance Advance in 1988, a company founded by a group of dancers who broke away from the Royal Ballet with the intention of creating and performing in their own works. Their venture was supported by MacMillan and he conceived a new work for the company based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. Created for just six dancers, Sea of Troubles was designed to tour small venues and was performed by Dance Advance across the UK. Scottish Ballet adopted the work two years later and, while it has since been performed by other companies, it remains a work that is seldom seen.

The event will be followed by a drinks reception. Free and open to all. Registration essential.
