Touring contemporary dance programme coming to Newport
National Dance Company Wales (NDCWales) will perform Surge | Gwefr at The Riverfront in Newport on October 1 at 7.30pm, featuring three works by choreographers Marcos Morau, Osian Meilir, and Faye Tan.
David Wilson, interim executive director and joint CEO at NDCWales, said: "Marcos Morau's movement style is mesmerising to watch.
"His work is really hypnotic and Waltz is a huge fan-favourite, so we're delighted to see the return of this dramatic, compelling and exciting work this autumn alongside two equally vibrant works by Wales-based creators Faye Tan and Osian Meilir who have both collaborated with visual artists, designers and musicians to create distinct dance experiences that will showcase the skilful talents of the company."
The programme includes Waltz by choreographer Marcos Morau, which received critical acclaim during the 2023 Pulse tour.
It will be presented alongside two new works by Welsh and Wales-based artists.
Infinity Duet, by Faye Tan in collaboration with artist Cecile Johnson Soliz, features two dancers and a large swinging sculpture.
The final piece, Mabon by Osian Meilir, draws on the Mabinogion and features eco-friendly animal costumes by Becky Davies and music by triple harpist Cerys Hafana.
The tour will also visit Cardiff, Bangor, Mold, Aberystwyth, London, and Ipswich between September and November 2025, before heading to Germany in 2026.
All UK dates will offer audio description, with the Cardiff and London performances having BSL interpretation.
