animal / vegetable / mineral

Hailed as ‘British dance’s true iconoclast’, Michael Clark is a defining cultural figure. Since emerging in the 1980s as a prodigy at London’s Royal Ballet School, he has remained at the forefront of innovation in dance. From the outset, Clark’s performances have been marked by a mixture of technical rigour and experimentation, intense and fine-tuned choreography intersecting with elements of punk, Dada, pop and rock.

animal / vegetable / mineral continues Clark's history of close collaboration with contemporary artists, designers and musicians and includes music by Relaxed Muscle, ScrittiPolitti and Sex Pistols.
