The Royal Ballet: Chroma + Tryst + Symphony in C

Dates: 22.5.2010 to 11.6.2010. Chroma pushes the dancers to their physical limits through McGregor's astonishing and demanding choreography and is set to spine-tingling music from Joby Talbot and the White Stripes. Tryst is an orchestral tour de force comprising five sharply defined modes, from the brassy, action-packed challenge of the outer sections, through quieter Celtic wistfulness and an iridescent central section for strings. Sym phony in C is a vivid example of Balanchine's ability to portray the very essence of his chosen music, as the varying melodies, rhythms and textures of Bizet's youthful score are reflected magically in dance. Conductor: Chroma: Daniel Capps; Tryst: James MacMillan; Symphony in C: Dominic Grier. Choreography: Chroma: Wayne McGregor; Tryst: Christopher Wheeldon; Symphony in C: George Balanchine.

The Bloomberg Commission

Dates: 5.4.2009 to 18.4.2010. London-based Polish artist Goshka Macuga is widely acclaimed for her sculptural installations of artefacts and photographs, derived from art history, politics and anthropology. The artist focuses on a key moment in the history of the Whitechapel Gallery: the presentation of Picassos Guernica in 1939. Organised in collaboration with the Stepney Trade Union Council in east London to raise awareness of the Spanish Civil War, the suggested price of entry was a pair of boots, left underneath the work, to be sent to the Republicans in Spain. Forming the centrepiece of Macugas installation is a life-size tapestry of Guernica.
