Faster, Higher, Stronger with Birmingham Royal Ballet

2011 and 2012 will see the build-up to a great sporting endeavour in the UK, the hosting of the London 2012 Olympic Games. 

Birmingham Royal Ballet will demonstrate that this tradition of endeavour, perseverance and attainment is not just confined to the world of sport. Ahead of the 2012 London Olympic Games, Birmingham Royal Ballet's Director, David Bintley, is creating a brand new ballet for the Company- FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER- the title of which is taken from the English translation of the Olympic motto CITIUS, ALTIUS, FORTIUS.

The new work will capture the spirit of the pre-Olympics period with hope, aspiration and sheer determination to perform as it receives its world premiere at Birmingham Hippodrome from 27 to 30 June 2012. 

FASTER, HIGHER, STRONGER comes from the award-winning team behind E=mc². After winning the last ever South Bank Show Dance award in 2010 with E=mc², David Bintley embarks on a second collaboration with renowned Australian composer Matthew Hindson. This ballet of speed, power and athleticism will be a fitting creation for the lead-up to the London 2012 Olympic Games.
