Artistic Abundance | Dance Detox | Spring Sensations

GENESIS is our Spring Scratch platform for new work and work in development from artists of the Hack Ballet community. Hosted at our pop-up theatre in the heart of Hoxton, GENESIS features a collection of new dance concepts from a diverse cast of dancers, set to live and electronic music performances. Expect an eclectic evening of experimental contemporary dance and music, new and in development, where professional neoclassical ballet catalyses physical theatre and improvisation.

The HackBallet Scratch platform gives artists a space to toy with contemporary ideas, whimsical fantasies and experimental modes of creation. In collaboration with composers Stephen Packe, Daniel Hewson, flamenco guitarist Bryan Reyes Rodriguez and other creative and performance artists, choreographer Briar Adams and invited special guests consider original choreographic propositions with poignance and characteristic flair.

Stay tuned for more updates on the Genesis lineup!

Are you a dancer or choreographer with an idea for new work or choreography in development?

Artists working in dance, contemporary ballet, music and related performance forms are invited to submit their work for participation. The theme for this event is “Genesis”: new life, new beginnings… to reflect the Spring season and positive energy that the start of the new decade might inspire in us.
