In honour of Sir Robert Cohan’s 96th Birthday, we are excited to invite you to a series of special events Friday 26th and Saturday 27th March.
FRIDAY 26 MARCH
Please join us for a unique insight into Communion, a group work choreographed for YDP’s 20th Anniversary Season in 2019. Filmmaker David McCormick’s short film, narrated by Cohan, takes us from the creation of the work in the studio through to its staging at the Royal Opera House.
The film will be followed by a discussion and Q+A with special guest artists.
