James Wilton Dance, one of Europe’s most in demand dance companies, presents The Four Seasons.
Using Max Richter’s recomposed version of Vivaldi’s seminal work The Four Seasons, James Wilton Dance has created a work of immense physicality, driving energy and sweeping beauty.
The work features the company’s signature blend of capoeira, acrobatics, martial arts and classical dance, alongside stunning stage and costume designs.
This abstract, yet honestly human choreography relates each of the four seasons of the musical composition to the four stages of the universe, creating a kaleidoscopic visual feast for audiences that is not to be missed.

★★★★
“This is stripped back and visceral storytelling through the human form… The Blackpool crowd fed off the raw energy of this performance. It was bold, expressive and yet with an apocalyptic mood that seems fitting in the current climate.”
Lancashire Evening Post
★★★★
“What an amazing evening of dance from this talented company.”
