Talent

Dignity, endurance and how much you will invest to win.

Influenced by ‘They shoot horses don’t they’, Sydney Pollack’s film of the novel by Horace McCoy.

Talent has a competitive edge, a play on judgement and judge’s verdicts, TV talent shows and the rivalry of contestants who desperately need to win whilst battling to retain their composure and a dash of glamour.

A dynamic and colourful range of ballroom styles take the floor.

The dancers invested a huge amount of energy and commitment to the piece and all made it to the end. Though it’s hard to say who won.


Created for the Blysh Festival at Wales Millennium Centre, 2009. Commissioned by Welsh Independent Dance
