Family Weekend A Slice of Paradise

A Slice of Paradise is a unique show created specially for children aged four and upwards. The show is part of a Sadler’s Wells weekend of performances, games and workshops from Spanish company Aracaladanza. Using bubbles, strawberries, puppets, magic and dancing torches, A Slice of Paradise creates a mesmerising fantasy world in which everyday objects – like newspapers and bin liners – come to life. Families can come early or stay on after Saturday’s shows to enjoy the free games and events in the Sadler's Wells Foyer. These include a chance to draw on and add to a towering sculpture of paper-chain people, create a new wardrobe of paper clothes to wear or stage their own choreography on a fuzzy felt wall. There will also be one-hour workshops, giving families the opportunity to explore some fun creative dance from the show. A Slice of Paradise is suitable for ages 4 and up. This show is part of a weekend of performances, games and workshops from Arcaladanza which also includes Tac Tac, a show created specially for babies.

Sangre Flamenca

After an absence of four years, leading Spanish Flamenco company Nuevo Ballet Español makes a welcome return to the Peacock Theatre with a brand new production, Sangre Flamenca, or "Flamenco Blood". Nuevo Ballet Español and its artistic directors Rojas and Rodriguez have garnered praise throughout the world for their unique mix of contemporary dance and traditional flamenco, delighting audiences at the Peacock Theatre with their hit show Flamenco Directo in 2004. For this UK premiere, the entire company of 11 dancers - five women and six men - performs a series of heart-racing bulerías, tangos, zapateado, jaleos and martinets, in a virtuosic display of traditional flamenco with a distinctly 21st Century edge. Music is played live by the 8-piece flamenco band Mahera, who perform with the renowned ‘cantaora’ (singer) María del Mar Fernández.

Birmingham Royal Ballet

Beauty and The Beast tells the classic tale of a beautiful girl and her beastly captor, and their discovery of the meaning of true love. This fairytale of passion and prejudice is choreographed by David Bintley, who weaves some delightful new twists into this timeless fable, making this version a real treat for all the family. Stravinsky: A Celebration! pays homage to the great composer Igor Stravinsky. Based on Russian legend, the enthralling Firebird is performed alongside Petrushka, a story of a rebellious puppet's bid for love and freedom, and Michael Corder's brand new version of Le Baiser de la fée, based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Ice Maiden.
