And Who Shall Go To The Ball?

With composer Scott Walker setting the scene for a sinister and primal ball, Rafael Bonachela’s choreography cuts through the space, pushing the dancers into extreme connections, entangled in each others bodies, throwing their partners into flight, only to catch and grab and throw again and again and again.

And Who Shall Go To The Ball was added to the GCSE Dance syllabus in May 2011.

Thank the Lord for Rafael Bonachela
