Compass is a compelling new work produced by Sadler’s Wells Creative Learning department, Connect. It brings together an impressive creative team with a cast of over 100 dancers, including the critically acclaimed Company of Elders, students from leading dance schools and community groups from East, South, West and North London.Set to an original score composed by Hannah Peel and Donna McKevitt and accompanied by arresting visual imagery by film maker Tal Rosner, Compass shows us that although we live in one city, within that city can be many worlds, and as many routes to ‘home’ as we choose.Choreographed by some of Sadler’s Wells’ finest associate and visiting companies, including Jasmin Vardimon Company, Matthew Bourne’s New Adventures, Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s Eastman and Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch, this exciting performance promises to be a true reflection of the capital’s cultural diversity in its Olympic year.


Connect is the Creative Learning department for Sadler's Wells with a track record for producing innovative and imaginative projects. It aims to inspire and excite people about dance through its activities for individuals, organisations, schools and youth clubs.

Diary Entry, Jasmin Vardimon Company with Youth Group, Tamara

It's 25 February and today was my first day of dance. I signed in and went to the studio on level 5 and I saw everyone already engrossed with the task and I just got along with it. They were walking along the spot and were doing some movement. This was kind of different because I wasn’t introduced to her but the way she taught was different because it wasn’t at a slow pace. It was really fast. During this session I put in the work and tried my best to do the moves, especially the floor movements. When we settled after lunch our dance teacher asked us to show our talents and Sam had showed us some dance moves, Cindy was beat boxing and singing which was amazing. Then a group sang a song. Then everyone just danced a little bit more, well we made our own dance routine. Sam’s was really good and our dance teacher said we had to do our dance routine like we were being electrocuted which was really funny. That’s all for today. Tamara
