Why make time for it

This dance production alternates sound and silence rather than simply setting steps to the familiar symphony. Tanowitz’s movement meets Shaw’s new composition and Crowner’s colourful stage design in the Barbican Theatre. The four performances run for approximately one hour without an interval and are recommended for ages 10+. The 2 October evening is audio described, with a pre-show touch tour. Standard tickets start at £18, with a £4 online or telephone transaction fee. Select the exact performance when booking.
