Dance Revolutionaries

A captivating new film by Yorke Dance Project.

Dance Revolutionaries is a 75-minute visual journey featuring Portraits, a portmanteau of five solo, contemporary dances alongside a ground-breaking production of the ballet, Sea of Troubles, all set in stunning locations.

The programme captures the raw emotion and trailblazing spirit of two dance visionaries, Robert Cohan and Kenneth MacMillan, who revolutionised how we perceive and connect with dance.

Cohan's pandemic-inspired solos in Portraits explore life’s intimate moments, creating a self-portrait of the choreographer through his dancers. MacMillan’s Sea of Troubles, inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet, poignantly explores universal human emotions of grief, rage, jealousy and the drive for revenge.

Yorke Dance Project, in partnership with the Royal Ballet, and with guest artists Romany Pajdak, Dane Hurst, and Jonathan Goddard, produces and performs this extraordinary journey, providing unprecedented access to the revolutionary works of Cohan and MacMillan.
