Pam Tanowitz's second world premiere for The Royal Ballet this Season is part of a special programme in the Linbury Theatre. The new work will be seen alongside the first revival of her ballet Everyone Keeps Me and a film screening of Dispatch Duet, created for The Royal Ballet's A Diamond Celebration last November.
The new creation, Secret Things, is a ballet for eight dancers set to Grammy-nominated composer Anna Clyne's Breathing Statues. Everyone Keeps Me was created for the company in 2019 as part of the Merce Cunningham Centennial Celebrations. Roslyn Sulcas for The New York Times wrote that “for 20 entrancing minutes, we are in her strange, resonantly poetic world.” Sarah Crompton in The Guardian said, “Like a lot of Tanowitz's choreography, it sets off ripples of memory – it recalls at various moments Cunningham, Martha Graham and Jerome Robbins's Dances at a Gathering – but is uniquely and utterly itself. She has a great gift.”
Dispatch Duet was created for the gala that marked the 60th anniversary of the Friends of Covent Garden. The punchy pas de deux (set to a score by Ted Hearne, as was Everyone Keeps Me) featured the principal dancers Anna Rose O'Sullivan and William Bracewell. For the Linbury programme, however, Dispatch Duet will be presented by the screening of a bespoke film of the piece directed by Anthoula Syndica-Drummond.
