A powerful collaboration between five international choreographers – Sébastien Ramirez, Mafalda Deville, Pascal Merighi (guest artist, Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch), Ivan Blackstock and Simeon Qsyea (BirdGang) – and the RIOT Company, an intergenerational cast of 100, brought together to create a unique dance piece performed to Igor Stravinsky’s iconic The Rite of Spring played by Southbank Sinfonia.

In 1913, the unfamiliar sounds of The Rite of Spring were enough to ignite rage and rioting in a passionate public. 100 years later, prompted by recent riots, the cast of 100 dancers in RIOT Offspring explore their own perceptions of rites, rituals and riots, creating a powerful piece of dance theatre.

Diary Entry - Luka from the Amber group



Friday 5th of April

Whatever point at which you stop practicing is where you pick up from.

I am still finding it hard to follow some choreography. But I have to keep trying . Drawing documenting and recording to keep a good physical memory.

I already see opportunities to try for, if I keep working hard there is a strong chance I will get them. Hard work, determination is guiding me.
