Experience
A blistering masterclass in fearless virtuosity, Experience is the brand new work from Fleur Darkin – one of the UK’s leading choreographers.
An intense journey into extremes of tenderness and rage, Experience embodies the passion, wisdom and inspiration of William Blake.
Expect lacerating choreography and bold performances from a cast of 8 international artists who push things to the edge.
Experience combines Tanya Ronder’s vivid text and exquisite live music by Bristol artist Paul Bradley.
See what William Blake’s parents saw: a boy who believed in angels.
