The partnership between Flawless and the English National Ballet was announced in January as a unique collaboration between the street dance group and the ballet company with Wayne Eagling, artistic director at the ENB, commenting: “Collaborations like this are vital for English National Ballet to keep the company fresh and modern and for dancer development.”
Since the announcement a synopsis of the plot has also been revealed (below) and tells the story of a battle between the students of The Academy of Excellence and an evil time manipulator who plans to end dance by stopping time.
The Against Time show has been created by Flawless‘ artistic director and lead choreographer Marlon “Swoosh” Wallen and Jenna Lee, soloist and choreographer at English National Ballet.
Flawless and the English National Ballet first performed together at the Peace One Day concert at the O2 in London in September 2011 having been introduced to each other at Buckingham Palace for the event Young people and the performing Arts earlier in May 2011, where they both performed as individual companies.
