"Fostering the multiple talents of these company artists is a priority for ADT artistic director Daniel Riley."

"The choreography consists of high-energy contemporary vocabulary with recurring gestural motifs, a complex amalgam of dance and imagery including unison sequences, pedestrian pacing and traversing, duets and strong floor work."
