We're delighted to welcome National Dance Company Wales to Bournemouth who will be working with two of the UK's most dynamic choreographers as part of their 2026/27 season.

Let them hold your hand through a desperately beautiful evening of dance.

Ordinary Courage by Theo Clinkard

When words fall short, movement and touch can ground us. Created in 2012 and remade this year with NDCWales, ‘Ordinary Courage’ by Theo Clinkard is a sincere reflection on grief, loss and the quiet strength of human connection.

Set to a haunting score that incorporates Scarlatti and Bach, this is warm, deeply moving and cathartic. It will linger with you long after the movement settles.

Untamed by Alesandra Seutin

‘Untamed’ is a visceral new work by Alesandra Seutin (2026 Olivier Award Nominee and Sadler’s Wells Associate Artist) rooted in the human urge to run. Bodies charged with emotion coil like springs ready to release. Together we move forward. Are we running away or towards something new?

Set to a driving soundtrack that includes traditional Welsh instruments and ancestral voices, the athletic, commanding dance will invigorate the senses, cleanse the soul and leave you breathless.
