speaks about New
English Ballet Theatre
NEBT is an exciting company which is
a refreshing addition to the UK dance
and art scene.
I feel that it is very important to help our
young professional artists as they develop
their careers and especially important to
support new works across the arts. New
English Ballet Theatre seeks to do just
that, and I am proud to be its patron.
Thank you for your support and I hope
that you too will believe in this company
and its young artists as much as I do.

About New English
Ballet Theatre
As one of the UK’s youngest and most
vibrant ballet companies, New English
Ballet Theatre is synonymous with
excellence, innovation, and inspiration.
New English Ballet Theatre is a
neoclassical ballet company with a
mission to nurture young talent and
launch the careers of emerging ballet
dancers, choreographers, designers
and musicians. Seeking out exceptional
talent and potential, we are dedicated
to providing paid opportunities and
ongoing mentoring for our performers
as they develop their careers.
New English Ballet Theatre creates 21st
century ballet for 21st century audiences.
As part of this process, NEBT is committed
to introducing ballet to new audiences and
young people through our touring and
outreach programme.
This summer, we performed the stylish
‘Lonesome Gun’ and ‘Mad Women’
by Kristen McNally and ‘Wundarra’
by Daniela Cardim at Latitude and at
the Canary Wharf Summer Sessions.
In October we held our second Taking
Chances: Choreography Lab which gives
emerging choreographers the opportunity
to create new work and develop their
artistic potential. We featured works by
talented choreographers Jessica Edgley,
Jenna Lee and Cameron McMillan.
We are thrilled to be bringing our
world premiere of five new ballets
to the Peacock Theatre this November.

BALLETS
by Nathan Halpern and Yann Tiersen leads
the audience into a surrealistic dream in
the land of the subconscious.
Strangers
English National Ballet Associate, George
Williamson examines the concept of
‘foreignness’ to Brahms’ Piano Sonata in E
Minor Opus 38 First Movement played live
by renowned pianist Anne Lovett and
cellist Anna Menzies.
Moonshine
Choreographer Kristen McNally depicts,
with her usual wit, the concept of the
‘pilgrimage’ – a person’s journey or
search for moral or spiritual significance,
set to the music from the original film
score of The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Enticement’s Lure
Valentino Zucchetti’s new ballet, set to
Rachmaninov’s Trio Elegiaque No. 1 in
G Minor, explores how temptation and
desire impact on the relationships of
two couples.
Vertex
Daniela Cardim’s piece, heavily influenced
by classical music from her native Brazil
and set to Camargo Guarnieri’s String
Quartet No. 2, examines the dynamic and
the intention of movement in response
to the music and to the mesmerising
drawings of renowned Royal Academy
of Arts sculptor, Ann Christopher.

NEBT commissioned Sambé to create this ballet for
four dancers taking the audience into a surrealistic

Strangers
Choreographer: George Williamson
Music: Brahms – Cello and Piano Sonata in E Minor
Opus 38 First Movement
Librettist: Adam Peck
Design: Louie Whitemore
Lighting Design: Andrew Ellis
This ballet examines the breakdown of a relationship in
dream-like episodes, exploring the inner dialogue of
lovers who have become strangers to each other and to
themselves. Three dancers are used to portray each of
the two central characters, floating through their past and
present as they navigate and try to come to terms with
the reality of their shipwrecked relationship.

Music: Alexandre Desplate – The Grand Budapest Hotel

Enticement’s Lure
Choreographer: Valentino Zucchetti
Music: Rachmaninov – Trio Elegiaque
No. 1 in G Minor
Design: Ilaria Martello
Lighting Design: Andrew Ellis, Theo Sanders
In this ballet, Zucchetti creates a lyric investigation
of the character of two couples and how
temptation and desire can destroy relationships.
We see the physical interpretation of desire
tangling the delicate balance of these relationships
and playing with the dramatic outcome.
This ballet is generously supported by the
Richard Cunis Syndicate and The Nicholas
Berwin Chartiable Trust.
