ABYSS
This work was commissioned by Sadler's Wells for the Company of Elders; showcased as part of a mixed bill alongside works by Adrienne Hart and Seeta Patel. Since 1989, Company of Elders, Sadler’s Wells’ inspirational resident over-60s performance company, has been demonstrating the power of lifelong creativity and proving it is never too late to start dancing.
