AWARD-winning National Dance Company of Wales will take their autumn tour, Folk, to Cardiff this November.

Performing at their home venue, they will bring their new show to the Dance House, Wales Millennium Centre on November 14-17.

The tour will feature two works at the centre which has been created by European choreographers.

Folk is the headline piece to be performed at each tour venue. Created by National Dance Company Wales’ artistic director Caroline Finn, Folk features darkly comic expressions of life and people, using Finn’s quirky choreographic style.

Exploring themes of social dynamics, characters in familiar and surreal scenes come alive to a musical landscape. Performed alongside Folk is They Seek to Find the Happiness They Seem by NDCWales’ rehearsal director Lee Johnston; an exploration of the separation and disconnection within a relationship, a duet set to music by Max Richter.

Profundis will be a new work for NDCWales by award winning Israeli choreographer Roy Assaf and also his first UK production. Inspired by the chorale of De Profundis composed by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, Profundis will premiere in Newtown and then be performed in Cardiff, forming a double-bill with Folk for the November run of NDCWales’ autumn tour.

Complementing the tour are NDCWales’ new evening classes at the company’s home and venue, the Dance House, at Wales Millennium Centre. The classes are for people of any dance ability (age 18 plus) who can sign up to try Beginners Ballet, Beginners Contemporary Dance, Yoga Dance, Yoga or Gaga/people, a free flowing movement language created by choreograoher Ohad Naharin.
