As four contemporary choreographers served by a small company of six dancers take to the stage, the Coronet becomes the only venue in West London to showcase dance, as the new permanent home of the Print Room theatre.
The four pieces playing over a week celebrate 1898, the year in which the Coronet was built, and explore London and its people over the past 100 years.
Print Room Artistic Associate Hubert Essakow is joined by a trio of dance makers: Kirill Burlov, with his choreography of “power and struggle” in the words of one critic; Tamarin Stott, formerly of the English National Ballet; and Mbulelo Ndabeni, whose “cavorting skeletons” impressed The Daily Telegraph.
As for Essakow, his sources of inspiration are nothing if not eclectic, and he’s currently two-thirds of the way through a trilogy inspired by the elements.
Themes for the Print Room’s forthcoming programme at the Coronet include the performers who graced this venue’s stage, such as Sarah Bernhardt, the Belle Epoque and a world on the verge of political upheaval.
Varied, intriguing and certainly worth a visit!
