The Forsythe Programme

In 2022, William Forsythe's Playlist (EP) brought the house down.

Following an acclaimed run, the exhilarating piece is back to bring pure happiness into our lives! Combining ballet classicism and athleticism with the music of Barry White, Natalie Cole, Khalid and more, it will leave you "tipsy with delight" (Financial Times) and "cheering and breathless with joy" (The Observer). What's not to like?

English National Ballet will also perform Herman Schmerman (Quintet), a classic showcase of Forsythe's signature style not seen in the UK for nearly 30 years. Created for five dancers, the most intricate steps appear to spring naturally out of the performers, who relish the challenge of surprising the audience, and each other, at every turn. The electronic music soundtrack is by Thom Willems, a long time collaborator of Forsythe's.

Completing this evening of Forsythe's work will be a world premiere from the master choreographer. More details to be announced.
