Founded by the accredited ballet dancer and choreographer Ricardo Cecílio, Genesis Ballet is a newly formed dance company born in the heart of London. As a brainchild of artistic experimentation, Genesis Ballet endeavours to innovate high quality dance productions in the most traditional theatre settings, as well as within contemporary filmmaking as another branch. It’s launchpad performance will be held in Covent Garden, the heart of London’s Theatreland, marking a new direction for dance performance and balletic technique.
Maintaining creative development is key to the Genesis production process, and professional collaborations are also significant to the company’s journey. Fusing classical ballet and contemporary techniques with the vibrant energy of commercial dance styles, truly unique perspectives are brought to the company’s storylines of its productions, the work the company performs on stage. To this end, Genesis Ballet aims to continue to develop its founding concepts and move forward from these too, in order to extend its work and continue to challenge itself and its values.
The founding performances for Genesis Ballet will be held at Swiss Church in Covent Garden, from 6-8 November inclusive. Introducing the company to its new audiences will be Genesis’ 10 dancers, made up of different ages and many different styles of dance, dancers who have been working together since February. In presenting itself to a wide audience base, the show has classical and contemporary-based technique, together with a fusion of jazz and pop commercial dance. Accompanying the eclectic movement choices will be a fusion of well-known music from the pop genre, blended together with a number of classical composers.
