In August this year, 20 young people worked with choreographers from Studio 3 Arts and Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures to create a full-length dance piece, in response to Bourne’s new production of Romeo and Juliet.  

The resultant piece was performed on the set of Romeo and Juliet at Sadler’s Wells.  

The performance was filmed, and we would love you to join the cast, creatives and VIP guests at the premiere screening, taking place on Wednesday 13 November at Broadway Barking Theatre at 7:30pm.

Tickets cost £10
