Van Cleef & Arpels Dance Reflections Festival Returns to London with Trisha Brown Company and New Commissions
The second Dance Reflections by Van Cleef & Arpels festival will run from March 12 to April 8 in London, happening at four venues: Sadler's Wells Theatre, The Royal Ballet and Opera, Tate Modern, and the Southbank Centre. The Trisha Brown Dance Company performed Working Title (1985) alongside Noé Soulier’s In the Fall (2023). Christian Rizzo’s Sakinan Göze Çöp Batar featured dancer Kerem Gelebek, while (LA)HORDE collaborated with Ballet National de Marseille for Age of Content. Van Cleef & Arpels has had ties to dance since George Balanchine's 1967 ballet Jewels. Established in 2020, the festival will also present three shows at The Arts Center at NYU Abu Dhabi in 2024–25, as mentioned by Catherine Renier, emphasizing the brand's heritage.
