Taking her cue from the stunning neo-classical courtyard and the dynamically designed fountains at Somerset House, award-winning choreographer Shobana Jeyasingh weaves a compelling and contrasting story for London in the 21st century.
Come and watch a powerful all women cast, made up of five extraordinary professional dancers and fifteen of the UK's exciting emerging talents brought together especially for this unmissable event.
