Dance Journeys is a longstanding English National Ballet education project that connects with young people in our local community to create an exciting original dance work.
In April 2020, Dance Journeys: Postcards to Alicia would have been performed by 70 young dancers from Bishop Challoner Catholic Federation of Schools, Copthall School, Friern Barnet School and ENBYouthCo at English National Ballet’s new studios on London City Island, to celebrate the Company’s 70th anniversary.
Due to Covid-19, the production was sadly cancelled, with only a few final weeks of rehearsals before the performance. We would like to thank the students for their commitment, energy and creative input throughout, and for being such enthusiastic members of the Dance Journeys 2020 Company.
Dance Journeys Digital 2021 is a new strand that has been developed in response to the pandemic, transforming extracts from the work Postcards to Alicia to create three original dance films. The films (Dance for the Arena, Living Picture and Legacy) feature a reduced cast of 32 dancers, and music performed by students from The Royal College of Music, in a journey that celebrates the Company’s 70-year history and explores the spaces within English National Ballet’s home on London City Island.
The three works that make up Dance Journeys Digital 2021 are co-directed by choreographers Malgorzata Dzierzon and Renaud Wiser, created in collaboration with filmmaker Laurent Liotardo. All three films feature extracts of the captivating original score composed by Szymon Brzóska, with costumes by Louie Whitemore.

Founded in 1950 as London Festival Ballet by the great English dancers Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin, English National Ballet has been at the forefront of ballet’s growth and evolution ever since.
English National Ballet brings world class ballet to the widest possible audience through performances across the UK and on eminent international stages including The Bolshoi Theatre and Palais Garnier; its distinguished orchestra, English National Ballet Philharmonic; and being a UK leader in creative learning and engagement practice, building innovative partnerships to deliver flagship programmes such as English National Ballet’s Dance for Parkinson’s.
Under the artistic directorship of Tamara Rojo CBE, English National Ballet has introduced ground-breaking new works to the Company’s repertoire whilst continuing to honour the tradition of great classical ballet, gaining acclaim for artistic excellence and creativity. 2019 saw English National Ballet enter a new chapter in its history with a move into a purpose-built state-of-the-art home in East London which brings a renewed commitment to, and freedom for, creativity, ambition, and connection to more people, near and far, than ever before.
