Natalia Osipova & Sergei Polunin

Natalia Osipova and Sergei Polunin in Arthur Pita's Run Mary Run

Natalia Osipova is taking her experiments with the contemporary genre to the next level. Last week, she presented the first programme she has ever commissioned at Sadler’s Wells in London, dancing alongside her partner, Sergei Polunin. It featured new work by three contemporary choreographers: Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Russell Maliphant and Arthur Pita, with whom Osipova had collaborated before. Alice Pennefather was at the general:
