Three distinctive ballets showcasing the unmistakable spirit of Ballet Black.

Isabela Coracy returns to her Olivier Award-winning role as Nina. The programme also includes two contrasting Ballet Black favourites: Martin Lawrance’s intense and intricately charged Captured, set to Shostakovich, and Sophie Laplane’s playful, stylish and irresistibly energetic CLICK!. Ballet Black has transformed the landscape of British dance, establishing a new canon for artists of Black and Asian descent that resonates with audiences around the world.
