A first look at new work by the Olivier Award-winning choreographer and composer, inspired by the courageous women in his life and the enduring spirit of Mother Earth.

Dickson Mbi’s TELLUS project, the focus of this week’s residency, is to explore themes of influence, societal roles, and environmental connections, blending his unique choreographic style with his evolving musical compositions. Mbi will collaborate with esteemed musicians, Gabriella Swallow, Eliza Marshall, Delia Stevens and Jonas Persson, deepening the integration of music and dance, in pursuit of an holistic and emotionally resonant experience for audiences.

Beyond this residency, TELLUS will lead to a captivating new production set to premiere in autumn 2025, followed by an international tour.
