Counterpoint (Shobana Jeyasingh Dance), Somerset House, London
Aug 19, 2023 - Aug 20, 2023

Award-winning dance company and Somerset House resident Shobana Jeyasingh Dance presents Counterpoint, a performance choreographed for the courtyard and fountains.

Taking cues from the stunning neo-classical courtyard and the dynamic fountains, Shobana Jeyasingh choreographs a dramatic, intense and water-inspired dance, performed by 22 powerful women. Set to a pulsating score by Cassiel, this performance will take you on a dramatic ten-minute journey of changing speeds, contrasting textures and shifting dynamics.


Dance and play with the company in the fountains for 20 minutes of Counterpoint-inspired dance, led by one of the dancers after the performance. Sessions are free and tailored to primary school-aged children and families (all ages and abilities are welcome).

Please remember to bring a towel and some spare clothes as you’re going to be soaked.
