New York City Ballet star Tiler Peck has a world premiere, her first ballet choreographed for a European company. And where is the big night? In a small theatre on the edge of Leeds city centre.
That’s a minor coup for Northern Ballet and its artistic director, the former Royal Ballet dancer Federico Bonelli. While Peck is still at her peak as a dancer, she is picking up steam as a choreographer (not to mention all-round social media personality). And she’s learning fast. London audiences have already seen her piece Thousandth Orange in the Turn it Out With Tiler Peck and Friends show back in March, but this one, entitled Intimate Pages, is better.
