Synopsis

Dance Revolutionaries is a captivating exploration of raw emotion through dance set in stunning locations, showcasing Portraits — a portmanteau of five solo dances, and an innovative production of the rarely-seen ballet, Sea of Troubles.

The film delves into the emotive world of two dance visionaries, choreographers Robert Cohan and Kenneth MacMillan, who redefined our connection to the art form. Cohan's pandemic-inspired solos explore life’s intimate moments, creating a self-portrait of the choreographer through his dancers. MacMillan’s Sea of Troubles, inspired by Shakespeare's Hamlet, poignantly explores universal human emotions of grief, rage, jealousy and the drive for revenge.

Yorke Dance Project, in partnership with the Royal Ballet, and with award-winning artists Romany Pajdak, Dane Hurst, and Jonathan Goddard, produces and performs this extraordinary journey, providing unprecedented access to the revolutionary works of Cohan and MacMillan.
