‘I was told that British audiences don’t really like experimental work, like they do in Germany or Switzerland,” says American choreographer Andrea Miller. “Which makes me really nervous. I’m more on the expressionist weirdo side.”
Miller, 41, is making her first work for a major British ballet company, a new version of Stravinsky’s Les Noces, originally choreographed a century ago by Bronislava Nijinska. “If I remember this correctly, Nijinska’s Les Noces did really well in Paris and then failed in London. So, there’s a precedent,” she grimaces.
