Sadler's Wells Associate Artist Jasmin Vardimon returns to Sadler's Wells East with the award-winning Lullaby, the 2003 piece that marked her choreographic breakthrough. Over two decades later, she revisits and expands the work with fresh insight and a new vision for the stage.

Against the stark backdrop of a hospital ward the piece explores the fragile dualities of human life: joy and despair, vulnerability and resilience, sickness and wellbeing through striking imagery, visceral performance and Vardimon's signature wit.

Lullaby is a Sadler's Wells co-commission

The acclaimed São Paulo Dance Company returns to the UK for its second tour presented by Dance Consortium with triple bill Brazilian Perspectives featuring work from three female choreographers from Brazil.

Agora by Cassi Abranches explores time and rhythm as dancers' bodies are sculpted by the percussive beats and bass grooves of Afro-Brazilian fusion.

Umbó by Leilane Teles blends evocative vocals with the rhythmic textures of Afro-Brazilian traditions, exploring the process of turning what inspires us into something uniquely our own.

Est.ação by Lili de Grammont explores questions around climate change alongside the unpredictability of human connection. The choreography moves seamlessly between humour, tension and celebration.
