Pett | Clausen-Knight create beautifully executed, classically infused dance. The company was formed by pedigree dancers Travis Clausen Knight and James Pett who began their creative association dancing with Company Wayne McGregor. Their partnership as maker/performers has taken them all over the world, dancing a body of commissioned self-choreographed duets in Tokyo, St Petersburg, Singapore, Florence, Milan, Brescia, New York, Mexico City, Plovdiv (Bulgaria) and Bangkok. In London their work has been performed by members of the Royal Ballet and on the main stage of Sadlers Wells. IMAGO, their full length piece from 2022, is now available to tour in the UK for the first time. Inspired by romantic symbols and secrets, the duet is a blend of ballet, contemporary dance, image and gesture in which the performers appear at times alien, at others recognisably human, as they explore a lovers’ path through intimacy, duplicity and resolution. An eclectic musical accompaniment, including original music by Sean Pett alongside tracks by Vivaldi, Mozart and Max Richter makes IMAGO a super satisfying audio/visual experience.
