Performer: Isabela Coracy

Ballet Black presents a double bill at the Linbury that showcases the strengths of its very fine dancers as well as the depth of choreographic innovation in its vast repertoire.

Curated by Marcelino Sambé, Black History Month Draft Works at the Clore Studio gifted us an intriguing mix of ideas and styles providing food for thought as well as theatrical interest.

Ballet Black deliver a compelling and cleverly chosen double bill of new works with excellent lighting, ghoulish spectres and intoxicating dancing.

We sit down with Ballet Black’s artistic director Cassa Pancho and dancers Isabela Coracy and Ebony Thomas, to discover the challenges and achievements of the company’s first 25 years.
