ADAM COOPER & COMPANY

Adam Cooper, former principal dancer with London's Royal Ballet, is revisiting his roots. For the anniversary of Sir Kenneth MacMillan's death, Cooper has assembled a company of dancers to recognize the success that MacMillan achieved as student, dancer, choreographer, and Artistic Director in the Royal Ballet community he joined in 1946. Over 45 years later, Cooper found great strength in MacMillan's dramatic energy and through this revival is bringing Sea of Troubles, a beloved piece back to life. With dancers from the English National Ballet, Cooper will give life to this Hamlet-esque drama on familial relationships and the troubles that besiege them.
