Bringing live dance to smaller venues - Tutus on Tour 2024

“Prismatic, created by resident choreographer and dancer Shaun James Kelly for the RNZB’s seventieth anniversary gala in 2023, pays tribute to one of the company’s signature works from its early years, Prismatic Variations, choreographed by company founder Poul Gnatt and Russell Kerr. Set to the same score, Brahm’s Variations on a Theme by Haydn, and with costumes by Donna Jeffries that evoke those of the earlier ballet, this is a celebratory work that gives the entire troupe an opportunity to shine in a sequence of solos, duets and ensembles.”
