I love Ballet Black!

They have inspired my art more than once.

Now in their 22nd year, Cassa Pancho's Ballet Black return to our stage with a double bill featuring new and innovative work.

Award-winning choreographer, **Mthuthuzeli November** contemplates the purpose of life in *The Waiting Game,* his exciting and energetic work about the meaning of life originally created in 2020, infused with a dynamic soundtrack featuring the voices of the Ballet Black artists.

**Sophie Laplane**, Franco-British artist and Choreographer in Residence at Scottish Ballet creates *If At First*, a new piece for Ballet Black after her dazzling 2019 BB ballet. Laplane's new work explores the complexity of humanity, heroism and self-acceptance in this celebratory and original piece.

**Ballet Black** has transformed the landscape of British ballet, creating a prominent platform for dancers and artists of Black and Asian descent, as well as establishing a new canon of ballet repertoire that resonates with audiences around the world.

Running Time: 1 hour and 35 minutes, including an interval
