REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Ricochet courts creative risk by commissioning some of the best contemporary choreographers in the business.' The Times

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS

Cardona, choreographer of ELSEWHERE, alters the energy of urban streets adding ‘just the right balance of commitment and cool’ (New York Times). In real deal, Pusch explores one of the archetypal human struggles; will versus destiny.

Man & Woman John Napier’s sculptural set provides a shifting surface for Fin Walker’s choreography in a daring and emotional work. (55 mins, 4 on stage, 7 on the road)
