Two legendary choreographers’ works captured on film.
Robert Cohan’s Seven Portraits presents seven award winning dancers performing solos in stunning locations. They all share universal stories of isolation, loss and survival with Cohan harnessing the power of dance to express the triumph of the human spirit.
Sea of Troubles is Kenneth MacMillan’s highly acclaimed ballet based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet. This classic tale of grief, despair, revenge, power and madness are seen from Hamlet’s perspective in this short, powerful ballet. Choreographed in 1988, its relevance remains undiminished and resonates deeply.
Both films are directed by documentary film maker David Stewart.
