Men in Motion

Men in Motion returns with a special 10th Anniversary Gala to the London Coliseum on 6 November for one night only!

Royal Ballet étoiles Matthew Ball, Vadim Muntagirov and Edward Watson, friends from earlier Men in Motion seasons, join its creator Ivan Putrov, along with Luca Acri, Leo Dixon, Joseph Sissens (The Royal Ballet), Matteo Miccini (Stuttgart Ballet), José Alves (Ballet Black) and Dmitry Zagrebin (Royal Swedish Ballet). The programme ranges from Le Spectre de la rose and works by Lifar and Nijinska to Volver, Volver, Äffi and a new creation from Arthur Pita.

Men in Motion explores how the role of the male dancer has developed from the Romantic era, when men were often in the shadow of the ballerinas, playing the support act, through the emergence of icons from Nijinsky and Lifar, to Nureyev, Dowell and today’s stars of the world stage.
