About Frontiers

Extraordinary.

(The Times, Pulse 2023)

First-rate artistry.

(Danza Danza Magazine, Pulse 2023)

Endlessly Inventive.

(The Observer, Pulse 2023)

What is impressive is how confident the company looks inhabiting a contemporary world and how easily it – and its hyper-articulated and controlled dancers – can move from genre to genre.

(Sarah Crompton, The Guardian)

Following the critically acclaimed Pulse last year, National Dance Company Wales, one of the UK's most ambitious and adventurous repertoire companies, return with their latest double bill.

Featuring work by two thrillingly different choreographers, and performed by a company of exceptional dancers with a rich physical understanding and individual artistry, Frontiers captures the company’s signature blend of brilliantly crafted, life-affirming dance.

AUGUST by NDCW's artistic director Matthew William Robinson is inspired by sunsets, personal grief, endings and saying goodbye. Bathed in the fading colours of dusk and the neon accents of night, AUGUST navigates a sensual landscape shifting between the perilous and the beautiful.

In contrast, Skinners by the Australian choreographer Melanie Lane, explores how the possibilities of technology blur with our physical reality, letting the dancers’ human bodies glitch between flesh and illusion, fact and fiction, in a thrilling yet terrifying vision of the future.
