Succession

Succession

A rare and transformative event, Succession sees our 27-strong Youth Ensemble creating and performing with the professional dancers of the company.

Five ADC company dancers nurture, guide and embolden the 15-18-year-olds as they dance alongside the Youth Ensemble in a stunning combined work.

Succession features four works created on the artists of ADC’s 2021 Youth Ensemble and culminates in a world premiere collaboration with the combined 32 artists of the company and Youth Ensemble all on stage together.

Audiences are treated to four unique works created by Youth Ensemble Director, Riannon McLean, company artist, Lonii Garnons-Williams, and recently-retired company artists Bernhard Knauer and Jake McLarnon.

As its name suggests, Succession is a key platform in ADC’s commitment to actively developing and inspiring the next generation of dancers and dance makers.
