Event Description

DIRECTORS: John English, Tom Garner
SPAIN, 2024, 1 HOUR 32 MINUTES, ENGLISH

Discrimination, body shaming and violence. This is ballet in 2025.

But a group of defiant dancers, survivors of industry abuse, want to form a radical, diverse company that opens its doors to others who have suffered abuse, and give these talented, traumatised survivors a chance to fight back, on stage. They find a run-down studio, and Chase Johnsey, a gender fluid dance insurgent, to direct them. But they have no money, no reputation, and Chase has never directed before. The dancers are brave, but young and deeply fragile. They must confront their traumas and find belief, if they are ever to take the stage again.

It is a journey of pain, hope, and above all resistance – to fight for justice, change lives, and create groundbreaking, liberated ballet – one choreographed step at a time.

Introduced by directors John English and Tom Garner with a Q&A to follow
