Perfomance: The Knot

You’re invited to a completely different wedding celebration where the bride, groom, best man and bridesmaids are all world-class dancers and the audience members are wedding guests. The Knot, about ritual, doubt, nerves and the sheer magic of weddings is Didy Veldman’s latest dance creation, performed by Umanoove.

Didy Veldman is a Dutch choreographer. She trained at the Scapino Academy in Amsterdam, and has danced with Scapino Ballet, Ballet du Grand Théâtre de Genève and Rambert Dance Company, working with international choreographers such as Jiri Kylian, Mats Ek, Ohad Naharin and Christopher Bruce, among others.
