Join Carlos Acosta and members of the BRB Company for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at how BRB takes a new ballet from the studio to the stage.

How does a ballet come to life? Who directs the dancers? What comes first: the music or the movement? And who creates the costumes, designs the sets and lights the lights?

Carlos Acosta and Dominic Antonucci, BRB’s Director and Assistant Director, host a special deep dive into the life of a ballet. From artistry to practicality, inspiration to perspiration, you’ll discover how BRB readies a work for the stage – including a Carlos Acosta masterclass with several of BRB’s world-class dancers.

We’ll be focusing on two very different works: Will Tuckett’s Lazuli Sky, part of On Your Marks! this summer’s triple bill, and Sir Peter Wright’s classic Coppélia, back in Birmingham in October. Don’t miss this rare journey behind the curtain.
