WORKS

Beheld

By Alexander Whitley
2015
Alexander Whitley visually striking dance piece that incorporates sinuous and expressive movement articulations.

Sadler’s Wells New Wave Artist Alexander Whitley creates a resonant and emotive piece that should not be missed.

Beheld features powerful duets and breath-taking ensemble dancing with huge swathes of fabric and is set to a mesmerising score by German composer Nils Frahm, reworked by Rutger Zuydervelt.

 

Alexander’s work is absorbing and elegant, pushing the dancers’ movement skills into new areas wanting to evoke a visceral connection with the audience.
