Dance can tell a story. Dance can probe a theme or an emotion. Dance can explore spirituality, physicality, sexuality or musicality. It can be joyful, thoughtful, quizzical or puzzling. Dance can be soothing or rough, literal or abstract, entertaining or challenging. The versatility and diversity of this most beautiful of art forms is what we celebrate each year with NAC Dance. Twenty artists and companies will grace our stages this season in a colourful spectrum of offerings, including luscious story ballets, traditional and contemporary styles, large spectacles and intimate works. What connects them is the broad language of dance and the worlds they create for us to explore. Come re-imagine the familiar and discover the new — your world will be enriched!
