The Verve 11 repertoire consists of completely-new commissions from a line-up of world-class choreographers including Deborah Johnson (head of choreography at Northern School of Contemporary Dance); Charles Linehan (trained at Rambert Academy; Jerwood Choreography Award;); Peter Mika (award-winning dancer: Torzo Ballet, Bratislava etc); and Ben Wright (dance artist: Stan Won’t Dance, AMP, LCDT etc).

Spokesman Andy Roberts said: “Each choreographer was given the creative freedom to use their unique voice to develop their work with Verve, resulting in a truly-mixed bill of work performed by a company of ten dancers who present an unforgettable evening of fresh ideas and technical excellence.
