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? “...the piece feels above all like a call for respect across any and all divides.” The Telegraph, 2021 Mthuthuzeli November makes his third mainstage commission for the Company, By Whatever Means, a love letter to musician, performer and activist, Nina Simone that combines ballet, jazz and the blues in a moving and inspiring piece of dance theatre.
